| Stereophile vs. Sports Illustrated I'll bet there's more gear with "upgrades" in the SI issue than the Stereophile one... ...not that there's anything wrong with that... | |
| Sooloos Apple Itouch apt? Email them with your storage component's serial # and they'll push it. Just make sure you leave it powered up.The iphone/itouch app is pretty cool. It doesn't have all the functions of the control unit, but gives you enough to make it worthwhile h... | |
| Amp for Dynaudio C1 Mcintosh 402 or Cary CAD 500? @ Ajackson1: FYI, The Cary SLP 05 has a 400 Ohm output impedance... more than low enough for the 402.However, I do agree the 500s would be a beautiful match if you can find a pair. | |
| Cary Audio Cad 805 AE tube rolling Casouza, The 805 AE can use both, and actually comes with both. A buddy of mine has a pair and he prefers the 211s to the 845s, I prefer the 845s. It all comes down to taste, which I think is why Cary put in a switch to allow both tubes. Very cool... | |
| Vinyl to PC I think Sumiko has a phonostage or a turntable with a USB output that records to PC. Pretty inexpensive too as I recall. | |
| Transfer of music from Sooloos to iTunes Why not call Sooloos and ask them? Get your answer straight from the horse's mouth so to speak. I'm pretty sure Meridian kept on everyone, and the Sooloos customer service is really top-notch... I got a call back once on a Sunday to answer a munda... | |
| "Internet Radio" Suggestions Please? www.pandora.com - basically lets you create your own custom radio station... type in a few of your favorite artists, select quick mix, enjoy. Pandora browses its library to find artists similar to the ones you select,and plays music from those art... | |
| Cary SLI-80 balance issues I agree with Greg_lett... sounds like that shop got everything all screwed up.One thing to remember... typically warranties are voided once aftermarket parts are installed. Before you call Cary, I'd make the local shop fix their screw up for free,... | |
| How to connect sub to Cary SLP 98 preamp? Why don't you want to use the speaker level connections? It's the best way to do it hands down. It doesn't change the final impedance the amp is handling, it doesn't draw any power away from your main speakers, and it keeps the subwoofer in better... | |
| Best audio quality - Apple iTouch vs iPod Classic I have both an iTouch and 5th gen Classic, and personally cannot tell the difference in SQ, whether just using earbuds or running it into my system. I like the iTouch for long trips because I can put a couple movies on it and watch 'em. The classi... | |
| Apple TV vs Wadia 170i? Another Apple TV vote here. If you want audiophile quality playback, rip using Apple lossless, run the Apple TV into an external DAC and you're in business. Plus the added bonus of synching with your computer and iTunes makes it easier to manage p... | |
| Current Draw Here's the quick n' dirty answer: No.Powered subwoofers hooked up in that configuration are merely sharing the signal with your main speakers. They do not draw any current from the amplifier, thus you are not changing the final impedance, lowering... | |
| new tubes on auto-bias amp,can be done by anyone? That depends on the circuit. What amp is it? It helps to know that, so maybe guys who have your amp will read this thread and put your mind at ease...If it is a true auto bias circuit that adjusts each tube individually it wouldn't even matter if ... | |
| Remotes: Who needs 'em? "Reminds me of a neurologist with whom I was talking, who said that the wife of one of his Alzheimer's patients pleaded with him, "Stop giving him those Viagras. He takes one, then I have to hide until he forgets what he took it for."Now that's fu... | |
| Remotes: Who needs 'em? I'm wondering if we can dispense with the hyperbole... What audiophile, 2-channel preamplifier has a remote with 56 buttons? A 2 channel preamp has only so many functions: Volume, source selection, mute, balance controls. Maybe a unity gain/HT byp... |
