Cary 303/300 voltage question
The above works well. I did try it already without any issue. Thanks a lot !! 
Personal speaker evolution
My dad gave me AR3a speakers in early 1980's (first speakers in my life launching me to the stereophile). I have owned NHT 1.1, NHT 2.5i, ProAc 1.5, ProAc Ref 8 Sig, Sonus faber Concertino Domus and still kept them all. 
Speaker stand for Sonus Faber Concertino Domus
Just went to audit this SF concertino domus speaker today at a local dealer shop. This speaker is quite sensitive to the stand I audited several cheaper and more expensive stands (same height basis) and the SF stand sounded the best. 
Need Help - Hum Noise from Audio Research VS55
Thanks for the advice. I will contact a local dealer here to convert the voltage. 
Best poweramp $2-4K matched with Cary SLP-98
Thanks everyone. It seems like Cary V12 series is a great candidate and worth listening. I will try my best to audition this amp with SLP-98 before I make any conclusion. Is there any thought or comment from Audiogoners on the SS amp? 
Meridian G08 a step up from 508.24 ?
I almost decided to sell my ProAc Ref 8 Signature. But after I got the G08 and connected it to my system replacing the Wadia 830, I changed my mind and still kept my ProAc since then. My ProAc sounds much greater than before. You will not regret w... 
Help with tube amps
I recommend CJ MV-55 which I have owned for about 4 years. Sweet and great sound. No one will get wrong with this amp tube. 
Tubes on Proac 1.5's
I have owned 1.5's for about 2 years. I pair them with Krell 300iL integrate and some time with CJ PV-12AL / MV-55 tube system. Both are great with 1.5's. For vocal and jazz, I prefer CJ with 1.5's. 
Looking for an amp for my Proac 1.5's.
My 1.5's sound good with Krell 300iL and CJ PV-12AL/MV-55. Hard to say which one is better ... depending the music I listen. Definitely, the 1.5's get the credit. 
Cardas Cross vs. Ht Pro Silway MK II
I used to own HT Truthlink, HT ProSilway MKII and Cardas Cross for my Krell and Wadia CDP. I did not much appreciate the HT products and and finally decided to sell them out. No doubt that MKII is better than Truthlink. In my system, Cardas Cross ... 
Integrateds-Krell or Plinius?
I own a Krell 300iL and love its sound with my Wadia and NHT very much. I had a chance to listen to the Krell 300iL with N805 and CDM9NT at a dealer shop and to my ear, I do not like a match between Krell and B&W. The sound is too bright and n... 
Krell KAV-300iL Anyone own or heard
I own a Krell 300il for about 3 months and it runs very well with my Wadia. I also own a tube amp CJ MV-55 which I connect it directly to Wadia. To my ear, the Krell 300iL sounds great and like tube. I would rate CJ is slightly better for female v... 
Best female vocals on CD
Diana Krall, Amanda McBroom, Rebecca Pidgeon, Patricia Barber, and Nat King Cole are my best female vocal list.
