| Cary 303 or Van Alstine? Rackon,The rest of my system is a Cary sli80, Meadowlark Shearwater Hot Rods, and DH Labs wires, (BL2 int. & T-14 biwired speaker cables), thats the next upgrade... I'm considering either Harmonic Technology pro9's, or Analysis Oval 9's, any s... | |
| Harm. Tech. Pro9 or Anal. Plus Oval9 Gunbei,I absolutely love my Shearwaters. And I've heard the Kestrels and been blown away by them. My speakers are very natural sounding. Perfect for what I listen to- small group jazz, orchestral, lots of piano lately it seems too. The Kestrels ar... | |
| Cary 303 or Van Alstine? Rackon, It's done. I ordered a Cary 303 from Kevin Deal @ Upscale Audio a couple days ago, should be here within the week! Looking forward to hearing the diference compared to my Marantz cd63se 1 bit "MASH" player. I suppose now I'll need better w... | |
| Stunned by a cable upgrade I also have had T14 for several years, and am ready to upgrade. I just started a new thread hoping to find someone who is familiar with the Oval9 and Harmonic Tech pro9. Due to location, I cant audition anything. This afternoon I started reading a... | |
| Cables for Cary SLI80 and Soliloquy 5.0 He Kroc,Okay, it's been over a week- tell me about the Seiman's!I just got some Mullards today, I'll let you know how they compare with the Tungsram & Ediswan. Jay in St Thomas | |
| Tired of SS amp. I'm quite happy with my Cary sli80 integrated, more than happy, Im in love. (speakers Shearwater HR's) | |
| ProAc, Snell, Soliliquy, Spendor, Totem I too would drop snell from the list, and probably totem. I'd say Proac & Soliliquy were a couple good choices. I've never heard the Spendors, although of course have heard good things about them. I wound up getting a pair of Meadowlark Shearw... | |
| CDP 2K for Cary sli80 Shearwater H.R. Krocdoc, I have a pair of DH Labs silver sonic interconnects, the newer one, and also a pair of budget silver ones, I believe they were called Stealth, ETS (Enter the Silver). both pretty modest @~ $100/pr, at this point I like the Stealth thin si... | |
| Your vote - BEST CD PLAYER in the world?? Rod,Could you explain "pace" for me? I've seen people use that word, as well as 'rhythm' in descriptions of sound, and just dont get it. Maybe I havnt spent enough $ yet. Thanks, Jay | |
| How much does your system retail for? ~$ 7,000 retail, paid 4,300 due to used speakers (Meadowlark H.R. Shearwaters), and a good deal on a new integrated amp, Cary sli80, budget cables & wires, (DH Labs silver sonic), and a "cheap" CD player, Marantz cd63se, which is the next thin... | |

| Coltrane. Can we talk? Does it move you? There's not much that needs getting... The last thing you want to do is get caught up in the kind of banter that we've been involved in on this thread. Time to tape my mouth shut, make another pot of coffee, and do some listening... | |
| Coltrane. Can we talk? Robert, Ah, it really is a small world after all. Do you know Scott Reeves at school? we used to teach together at the University of Maine. He was the head of the jazz dept., my boss- a nice guy and good player. There were quite a few great Maine ... | |
| Coltrane. Can we talk? Hi Robert,Sorry we got off on the wrong foot. I think you and I are debating a "Clintonism", i.e. it depends what you mean by "expand".... Yes of course Trane's "music and harmonies are still based on the western diatonic sysyem, and are mostly te... | |
| Coltrane. Can we talk? Kublakhan, group hug? Absocoltranelutely. I had no idea I would offend anyone. I thought I was offering my personal opinion as to why I like him, and why I also like other players, yes perhaps a little more in some respects, ultimately it's just m... |
