| Difference between KT88 EAT and NOS in Jadis My audio cohort bought a quad of Gold Lions for his Cary Rocket 88. Absolutely wonderful sounding tubes. | |
| Which songs/albums take you back to college? It was the Marine Corps for me. An erudite audiophile I am not.But I did try to party and pick up some G.I. benefits when I got out, so...I was at the beach with some kids I'd met, and you know how you'll have heard a song a couple of times, and y... | |
| Which amp s for Sonus Faber Amati Heard them locally with Linn Klimax pre/amps. I'm a tube guy who's not been impressed for the most part with switching technology; but this was good. I only listened for a short time however, so I don't know if it would have eventually lost me to ... | |
| RCA Caps I've been thinking about them for a Steelhead, but then, that's a LOT of unused RCA's, and a lot of sensitivity. I think the money's better spent on tube dampers or audiophile-grade fuses, though. | |
| RSA Haley From what I was told by the nice guys at Dedicated Audio here in the Phoenix market when I bought mine, the only thing that has changed is the cosmetics. They no longer carry the line.Unless you're (happily) using Cardas Golden Reference cabling i... | |
| Wilson Benesch A,C.T. & Wilson Audio Watt Puppy8 I thought I hated the WP8's. Heard them locally with Theta blocks; at shows with various tube gear and Pass Labs (Pre-ed with an ARC Ref 3).Then I heard them with Bat Rex and 150SE's. Best sound at the RMAF two years ago IMHO.Just an educated gues... | |
| Cary 306SACD trouble Manually pull the tray out(while open), and then re-insert it. Also, call Dennis with the serial #. There were tracking issues with earlier models. He'll take care of you. | |

| Phono Pre with regular Line Input Quick response to your Q to me.Yes. I didn't like (or need) the gain at 65 on either MC or MM. It is at 60 and singing. I am going to purchase some Cardas plugs for all those unused RCA jacks, though. | |
| Phono Pre with regular Line Input Its maybe slightly lower. Definitely not any worse. Go figure! | |
| Phono Pre with regular Line Input I have the phono cable in the MM connectors, and wow! What's interesting is that the audiophile in me is noticing this and that drawback; but it doesn't matter. Its as if a window's been opened to the soul of the recording! I'm hooked. Its 2AM in ... | |
| Mothership - The Inspiration ...and you gotta include Jack White's other manifestation as front man for The Raconteurs. In the "Consolers of the Lonely" album, he basically shows off that he can do Plant better than Coverdale ever DREAMED of! All the resonance, and "right now... | |
| Phono Pre with regular Line Input I'm so going to try that now. This is my first adventure into analogue in over thirty years. The cartridge I'm using is the Shelter 501 II, so I think I can get away with it. Totally linear thinking on my part, being a newb. For what its worth, so... | |
| Phono Pre with regular Line Input I'll tell you this. I'm running a Cary 306 Professional through the single RCA line in the Steelhead II, and its phenomenal. Much better digital front end than the Audio Aero Prestige running through its own internal preamp. |
