| CD player Vs Pre-amp Gary,I use a Cary CD-308 connected directly to my amps. I think it sounds great. I recently borrowed a highly praised $4000 tube pre-amp from a friend for a comparision. With the pre-amp in the circuit, I got slightly better dynamics, but the cost... | |
| component, s-video and composite newbie Ivanj,Cable TV is notorious for causing ground loop issues. You likely need to isolate the cable TV input from your system. There are a couple of manufacturers that make isolation devices for this purpose. Mondial makes one and I think RadioShack ... | |

| Anyone have problems with Arcam digital gear I previously owned an Arcam Alpha 9 CD player. I sold it via AudiogoN when I decided to buy a CD player with a built in volume control.A couple of months after I sold the unit (BTW, I bought it used via AudiogoN), the new owner posted a question o... | |
| Best small speaker I gotta agree with Jim. The Reference 3A MM De Capo or De Capo(i) are great small speakers. I find them to be very involving with great detail and musicality. Additionally, they have the best bass performance of any small speaker that I've ever he... | |
| How's the analog volume control on the Opus 21? Hey Fred,I too am interested in the Opus 21. I currently run my Cary CD-308 direct to amps and would do the same with the RA.Question: What is the ETA for new Opus 21. RA website states "Out of stock" call to order. Have you talked to the RA folks... | |
| Whats the deal with these antique sound labs av-8s Hey Ben,TIC here again. I had a pair of the ASL Wave 8s. They didn't really do it for me. That said, for $200 or less used, I would still try a pair if you had speakers that are about 92db eff. or more. Heck, for $200 you can try them and resell t... | |
| Suggestions for toslink cable? OK guys, I'm gonna let you in on a secret. The Wireworld and the Sound Professionals cables are the ones that get all the press at AudioAsylum. There is a review of both as mentioned in a previous post.However, there is a guy on e-Bay that sells t... | |
| CDP with volume control I have owned a Theta Miles (balanced version-twice as many DAC chips as RCA only version) and the Cary Audio CD-308. I ran both directly into a plethora of amplifiers. Both worked great.Currently I have the Cary CD-308 running directly into a pair... | |
| What's your latest "Discovery" I've been playing Jimmy Smith's "Dot.Com Blues" a lot lately. Man, that Hammond B3 Organ just fills up the room with sound!!! Also, great guest artist on this one, including Etta James, Dr. John, Keb' Mo, Taj Mahal and BB King. This is a great Jaz... | |
| Sony 9000ES vs. Sony 999ES vs. Denon DVD-2900.... I have owned the Denon 2800 mkI and the Sony DVP-S9000ES. If your goal is to have a universal player for high def. digital audio AND redbook CD playback, you may want to look elsewhere IMHO. Of course, it depends on you system and how "resolving" ... | |
| Review: Arcam Alpha 9 int Amplifier I owned an Alpha 9 for a while. Nice piece, especially for $500 from a dealer!You can use Nordost Z-plug bananas on the Arcams because the Z-plug is hollow and fits nicely over the center protrusion. The z-plugs are available from any Nordost deal... | |
| Norh SE9 or Jolida tube intergrated..... FYI, The SE9 is NOT a SET amp. I believe it is a single ended amp running in Pentode mode (SEP). This had been discussed at length on the HarmonicDiscord Site.Enjoy,TIC | |
| Would this be an upgrade? Jim,I have owned the balanced version of the Theta Miles and the Sony DVP-S9000ES. I agree that the Theta was far superior to the Sony for redbook playback. I also used the Sony with a very good DAC and Digital cable (Birdland Odeon Lite, Nordost ... | |
| A new ploy for fraud? I have read thes EXACT scam posted by someone else on another forum.I'm fairly sure that this is a scam and you will be left holding the bag! For a $90 sale, I'd look elsewhere.TIC |
