| Pre amps cost vs. value ... what I discovered last month. Brian, while a bit off subject, could you give a general description of what modifications you made to your 211‘s? I’ve just received a pair and would be quite curious to know where you went with them. Looking at your discussions and your body of... | |
| What used speakers raraely come up for sale Ruark Solstice or Excalibers. Immensily musical, detailed and dynamic. | |
| Tom Petty: It was an "accidental" OD "It’s tough to beat opioids for severe pain." ......stated in a prior post.Actually, opioids alone are frequently only mediocre in treating many types of pain and in fact, in larger dosages, can make the pain actually worse. Using non-opioid medic... | |
| Soundstage, layering and tube differences Oh...I've been tube rolling for many years, but I've never had my question answered by someone who really knows. Is it the actual recorded soundstaging that some tubes resolve better or... just an illusion form the harmonic distortion of that part... | |
| Looking for help retubing Cary V12R mono blocks mikirob, have you compared the GL KT66's directly with the SED's? If so, what are their differences? | |
| Tenting home for termites Thanks for ALL the comments, weird or not :)Apparently they use a gas which totally dissipates. No residue or interaction with rubber, foam, etc.... My main concern was the delicate rubber suspension in my turntable cartridge. I may bag the TT ri... | |

| Cary cad 211m If you like the 280sa V12i, you should consider the V12R monoblocks. 200 watts UL or 100 triode. I've used a pair to run B&W 801's, not the most efficent speakers, to very loud levels. Lots of headroom. | |
| B&W 800 Signiture That is a crazy good price. So good, I might be a bit suspect. | |
| Anita O'Day? The Mosaic collection is amazing but out of print. Occasionally comes up on ebay. | |
| Zero Autoformer good/bad for Atma/Quad combo It might, but you will not really know until you try them. I have found varying degrees of success with these on different tube amps and speakers. I have a nice pair I was thinking of selling. Interested?? | |
| Best bourbon? Blanton's Reserve | |
| Shouldn't the Bass be felt? Duh Go out and buy a pair of B&W 801 ser II's and drive the hell out of them with a good quality high current SS amp,ie Pass, Bryston, Krell, etc... You'll feel the bass. Jim | |
| Cary 303/300 driving V12R direct I own both the Cary 303/300 and a pair of V12R Monoblocks. In my experience the 303/300 does a great job driving the V12's directly. Very dynamic and great transparency. When I add my CAT MkIII pre I do get a bit more body and dynamic contrast, bu... | |
| Experience on B&W N800 with Tube Amplifier I currently utilize a pair of Cary V12R monoblocks(100 watts triode/ 200 UL)to drive a pair of B&W 801 Matrix ser. II's(87bd eff.)I get fairly tight tunefull bass and great mids/treb, utilizing triode(always). Very dynamic, even on large scale... |
