| Cayin T30 Degabe,I think it will depend on the speaker you are using, the music you listen to and the spl you require. With the right setup I would be certain of it's ability. I wish my room were larger...at least a higher ceiling.I find the Cayin to have a... | |
| jolida 302a + totem arro / pre-out for sub? Ditch the Y connector pronto. It seems to destroy the stereo image from the amp. If your sub has any other inputs besides rca check your manual or call Dr. Hsu. | |
| Cayin T30 Velo-I have only used the stock tubes to this point, so I can't comment on your kt-88's. Did you try the el-34? I am unsure how the kt-88 would effect the character.I am using an unported sub to uphold the bass foundation of some small Dynaudio sp... | |
| Cayin T30 Mine did too at first. The odor was a sweet moth ball sort of smell. It has been a month and almost completely gone away. The sound just gets better-enjoy! | |
| jolida 302a + totem arro / pre-out for sub? My sub has two inputs. Low level rca type and high level spkr terminal type with a special connector. The sub has a BK electronics amplifier. I guess not all subs have that capacity, but I should think that most do. I just wire it up and go. Sound... | |
| jolida 302a + totem arro / pre-out for sub? I also have the Cayin ta-30. My advice on the sub preouts- it robs from the volume pot and reduces gain to the main spkrs. I ended up wiring direct to the spkr outs and that solved the problem. | |
| Image and Power Thanks Sean for your enlightening response.I had removed the cover of the SS to see if there were any adjustments that I might give a whack at. I saw nothing that would tempt me, and let it be. I like your example by Atkinson. The more I dig at Go... | |
| My, My...what a nice sound this amp has ... Hey thanks Tubegroover.Wanna hear something funny? I must have been having a senior moment or some kind of brain fart. Ella and Basie has no strings to speak of. Dream a little Dream of Me has a pretty cool Hammond organ tho. I was listening to a ... | |
| My, My...what a nice sound this amp has ... Thanks, Marilee sure could sing. Her husband Neil played sax on that song. Do you remember the one huge flat note he made on it? Oddly, I always found that attractive ;-)and wondered if he intended it. | |
| For Cayin TA-30:"The Horn" or Fostex/Voight Pipe? Shirasagi,What difference did you notice with the Mullard over the stock tubes?RW | |
| I'm going back to tubes... a question for y'all Thanks, I appreciate your input. | |
| I'm going back to tubes... a question for y'all Reubent,I had considered the Anthem Int 2 and the Plinius 8200. Can you tell me what you thought of those in relation to the ta-30? I had also considered the Unico. We live in an audio desert... there are no upper level/specialty shops here unless... | |
| I'm going back to tubes... a question for y'all Wife, Son and I live in Reno,Nevada.I was initially concerned the wattage output of the ta-30 being a fairly low 30 watts may not be enough to drive the Dynaudio 52s. I am using an extremely nice (powered)sub to fill in the bottom end. The most re... | |
| I'm going back to tubes... a question for y'all I'm going to give the hot rod ta-30 a try. I initially was reluctant to go for the Chinese made unit. But then I figured that Paul put his stamp on it with the mods, and it felt like I was in fact supporting our local business. All indications wer... | |
| I'm going back to tubes... a question for y'all Sean, you hit the nail squarely on the head. Not all material is as cleanly recorded as Levinsons Red Rose sacd. The breathy sax, the airy voices, the strings...masterful and engaging. The orchestral tracks in The Little Mermaid show off dynamics ... |
