| amarra or pure music..? I use both Pure Music and Amarra Mini; most of the time Pure Music. I've tried Fidelia. If there was a difference, it was not worth the lack of convenience.I've also briefly tried Audionirvana--from just a brief listen, I thought this sounded very... | |
| Best 300B I've been very happy with Black Treasure 300B's (and the 6CA7's), but I purchased a pair of Synergy/Create 300B's....these are very, very good also in my setup and just a bit different from the BT's. I think they are more linear, a bit more extend... | |
| Tulsa, Oklahoma I live here in Tulsa as well; current rig is mac mini, J Keny box modded (battery pwrd) HiFace feeding the bnc input of an Eastern Electric tubed DAC (the new one using the Sabre chip), with a Grant Fidelity 300B SET integrated amp, pwring Daedalu... | |
| Review: AudioPrism Ground Control Tweak Well, I pulled the trigger and bought a pair of the std GC's for my speakers (Daedalus Audio DA-RMa's); I was pretty skeptical, but after reading Ozzy's experiences (and strongly considering that he appeared pretty skeptical at first as well), I f... | |
| Recommended Speaker for Triode Amp I have the DA-RMa's & now power them with a 10wpc SET amp. My room is 14' x 20' with high cathedral ceilings. They will easily reach 100db at about 1 o'clock on my volume control with no stress or strain. I absolutely love these spkrs; I've ow... | |
| Need help with IC upgrade Cardas Golden Cross I've used (and still use) a number of Cardas interconnects, Cross, Golden Cross & Golden Presence. I'm a big fan and have found Golden Cross to sound great in many setups. I'm really liking the Golden Presence as well; seems to have a bit more... | |
| KCI Pure Gold and the benefits I've been absolutely loving my Silkworm+ interconnects for a few weeks now; the best I've ever had in my system (and that includes quite a few of the big names)! And I echo the sentiments about John; just a pleasure to deal with and soon you feel ... | |
| Accuphase or Musical fidelity for Focal Micro Be Nvp,In my experience, the E-530 was considerably smoother and more refined than the E-408 (and bear in mind that I thought the E-408 was a great amp). Besides being pure Class A, I think the pre section of the E-530 was quite a bit more transparen... | |
| Accuphase or Musical fidelity for Focal Micro Be I have the original Micro Utopia's (now in a secondary system) and have powered them with both the E-408 and the E-530. Although I have since moved to tubes, the Accuphase integrated were the best I've owned (including JRDG, BAT, Sim Audio, Pliniu... | |
| Loud buzz and hum in my REL subwoofer I had a similar issue with my Strata III some time ago; turned out to be a bad connection in the neutrik connector. I would definitely try a different cable before moving on.Best of luck.Randu | |
| Amarra for iTunes at RMAF... All: I've been playing around with the Sample Manager demo version this weekend and think I like the files I've upsampled. I first converted to 24 bit, then upsampled that file to 96k (I'm limited to 96k as I use the MW Transporter; Transporters w... | |
| Compatible SLI 80 power tubes? Mark,I've rolled lots of tubes in my SLI-80 this past year. Love RCA 6L6GC blackplates (I bias around 60-65), Tung Sol smooth blackplates (75) and GL & JJ KT77's (65). Responses from Cary have been 75 milliamp per side regardless of tubes, but... | |
| 6L6 tube recommendations requested Lloyd,I've rolled quite a few types of pwr tubes, both NOS and new production, in my Cary SLI-80 integrated this past year. While not my absolute favorite new production tube (that goes to the Shuguang Black Treasure 6CA7, but 12 of those would be... | |
| What is it about the Cary SLI-80? I agree that there often seems to be SLI-80's available, but possibly because lots of new ones are sold. I can tell you I'm on my second one! I had the stock SLI-80 5 years ago; decided to get away from tube pwr and went with some really fine soli... | |
| Shuguang Treasure tubes.... Jcspinks,I really liked a lot of things about my Treasure 6ca7's right out of the box; I'm in the 275 hour range now and honestly can't say I hear a marked difference in the last 50 hours or so, but unfortunately that's possibly because I've not b... |
