| Audioquest question Thanks guys---I figured that would eventually be the solution. I read several threads on here that Cary Audio likes Kimber Kable and they do come in separates. I'll check out the Wireworld Equinox---that's good to know. Sorry if the explanation wa... | |
| Audioquest question @hifiman5 Sorry for the confusion---from the 4 ends (connections), the cable narrows down to one cord. Does that make sense? So it's one cable with 2 connections on each end. The 2 connections that would go to the SL100 are will not stretch to 5-6... | |
| Should I keep the Turntable or sell it? I had a direct drive turntable for many years and decided to try a VPI Cliffwood which I love. I will eventually upgrade the cartridge. I'm not a big fan of Bluetooth sound. I briefly had a NAD integrated amp with its BluOS system and it didn't so... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Joy Division - 40th anniversary of 'Unknown Pleasures' | |
| Suggestions for my next upgrade Hi Jay! I'm looking to upgrade to a proper preamp for a Bel Canto REF500s amp. The SL100 looks interesting. How do you like it? I've heard good things about Cary Audio. Thanks! | |
| What brand was better than it is today? Canton speakers, Denon, B and O | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Depeche Mode - Black Celebration | |
| Quad Balanced Pre-Amp The C49 is about $500 more than the C47. Does the C49 have $500 worth of upgrades? Looks interesting though. | |
| Who can dance? I love to dance even though I haven't been out and danced in a while. I was in high school and college from the early-late 80s and the new wave nightclub scene was incredible. I was out dancing 3-4 nights a week for years! I moved to Philly in '88... | |
| From tubes back to SS? @prof That's a great story---I have found that many CJ owners are quite loyal to the brand. I've never owned anything in the audio world that's as hi-end as a CJ or LTA. The closest I've ever come to that was Canton speakers, Nakamichi and B &... | |
| From tubes back to SS? @tuckia08 The CJ ET6 does replace the ET3 I believe---at least that's what I've read. The LTA is slowly pulling me in. I have also glanced at Cary Audio's SLP98 and Rogue's RP5. But the LTA and CJ and #1 and 2 on the list. There are so many good o... | |
| From tubes back to SS? @tuckia08 Thats great info since I'm a newbie to tubes. How do you think the new CJ ET6 compares to the LTA? I've read/heard great things about CJs. Some people on Audiogon don't like the relay 'clicks' on the volume control of the LTA preamp. I'm... | |
| From tubes back to SS? @abucktwoeighty Wow! Do all tubes hiss or hum? Or is it a brand thing? I've been looking at Linear Tube Audio preamp and Conrad-Johnson's new ET6. If they hiss or hum then that would worry me. | |
| From tubes back to SS? Lots of good points but I guess the only way to know is to try it out. I can always go back like many of you. I still haven't made up my mind---lots of research and taking into account many comments here. And the journey continues... | |
| Music lover or audiophile? For me, music came first. My family had 45s, albums and 8-track tapes. We had radios playing all the time. Most of the restaurants we went to back then had juke boxes. I used to love to get some spare change to play records in the juke boxes.I had... |
