Zu Omen or Tekton Lore
Hi all ! Yes indeed , another positive review for the Lore . This speaker will hopefully remain unchanged for a very long time , a classic for sure . 
CDP/laser repair in Tampa bay area
Hi all ! If it were me i would just replace the entire transport . When they start to skip usually the laser is going . What kind of player is it? I can look it up . If you want to get one I can probably put in in in 15 minutes .

Zu Omen or Tekton Lore
Hi all ! I agree that it is fun to see whatgreat electronics do with these speakers . I am using an Ayon CD-2s cd player , a Cary slp-05 pre with a Cary v12 amp . Sounds quite dynamic and musical . Dont really feel the need to " upgrade" these spe... 
Ayre V-Kxe and Thiel 2.4s
Hi all ! Yes , very happy with my current setup . Never thought I could be happy with 4 wpc . Off the subject perhaps but an article written by Steve Deckert explains why low power / hi efficiency gives greater realism to music , that article real... 
Ayre V-Kxe and Thiel 2.4s
Hi all ! Although I have since put the Thiels on consignment , the combo worked well for me in my smallish space , I was very happy with this combo for years . Now I prefer high efficiency / low power combos . Just another adventure in this great ...

Ayre V-Kxe and Thiel 2.4s
Hi all ! this is almost the same thread I was involved with regarding my Thiel 1.6 's and my Cary v12 amp . With the cary set to triode mode (50 wpc) ,the combo was very satisfying . However , everone looked up reviews ,charts, etc to try to prove... 
cd/rom drive
Hi all ! The drive works perfectly . The only thing is there are 3 drives with the model # DSL-710A . Get the one that looks exactly like the one you are replacing . 
Cary v12 vs. Vac 80/80 vs. Music Reference RM-9
Hi all ! cant help with the vac or m r but I really like my v12 . I always use the cary on triode mode and the 4 ohm taps although my speakers are 8 ohm . It is a very nice amp and they can be had for under $2000 . Also , many different kinds of o...

cd/rom drive
Hi all ! Found a dsl-710alt . Will try it when it comes in , if it does not work , the guy will take it back . So , kinda hate to take a risk , but for $350 difference I will . I will keep you guys updated as this drive is used in many players . 
Cary SLP 03
Hi all ! Yes , I agree on all points . I was trying to convey that sometimes we dont know how bad or how good something is until we substitute something else in the system . Not trying to compare the two really , just dont think the 03 is worth al...

Hi all ! WOW !! let's see 400 cables at , I dont know , maybe 100 hrs per set for break in....plus " testing " time . Crap , just the break in time is 40,00 hours . 1667 days just to break in the cables ? (is it just me?) 
Cary SLP 03
Hi all ! Just last week I bought a new SLP-05 to replace my SLP-03 . I never rolled tubes in the 03 as I thought it sounded OK . Well....then the SLP-05 showed up...freeking nuts ! The 05 is much better than the 03 in every way . I even made a com...
