| Cardas Clear Beyond Interconnects ? I have done about 50 hours on the Clear Beyond now.Overall, I find the highs still tipped up with some sibilance and hardness.Hopefully, this goes away otherwise it may be too neutral for my liking.I have not heard the Clear Reflection and am wond... | |
| Cardas Clear Beyond Interconnects ? @garebear Thanks. Can you tell me what you found past 50 hours and then past 100 hours? How did the characteristics of the cable change? | |
| Cardas Clear Beyond Interconnects ? @garebear , @biggy79 I've tried them out for a bit now. In my system, the Clear Beyond interconnects have great bass, lots of midrange and low bass richness as well as bloom. However, it sounds loose and is not as focused. The highs are also slig... | |
| Cardas Clear Beyond Interconnects ? GarebearPartly based on your advice, I bought a pair of Clear Beyond to go from pre to power amp. I will continue using Golden Cross from DAC to pre as my DAC lacks midrange richness. I hope that doesn't defeat the purpose of the Clear Beyond.It s... | |
| Furutech AC Receptacles No they don't. I think you get the best out of them with the wall plates and covers but you can use generic ones if you want to save some $. | |
| Which is REALLY the best Conrad Johnson Preamp JafantIt's unusual to run the Pass Labs single ended as they sound better balanced but I guess Jeff Dorgay has his reasons for doing so. | |
| Cardas Clear Beyond Interconnects ? Garebearwould you say more musical because they are fuller sounding and richer in the midrange & bass? | |
| Cardas Clear Beyond Interconnects ? GarebearHow does Clear Beyond compare to Clear or Clear Reflection? | |
| Cary Audio DAC 200 ts Opinions Updating this. I bought and ended up selling the DAC 200ts. It sounds OK - it has a full bodied sound but is somewhat lacking in inner detail and subtler nuances. On this front, the PS Audio Direcstream is way better. It was the shortest lived pie... | |
| Cary Audio: Tube preamp (SLP-98) paired with (SA-200.2) solid state amplifier? I guess it is a matter of taste.I've heard the SA 200.2 and found it lacking something. Certainly not in the same class as Pass Labs, Threshold or Krell.I heard it with a Cary SLP 05. Given the way it sounded, I am surprised it runs in full Class ... | |
| Amplifiers and Dynaudio C2 signatures The other brand that works quite well with Dyn's is Karan Acoustics.Gives a very musical full bodied sound and holographic imaging. | |
| Amplifiers and Dynaudio C2 signatures I forgot. if you want to go the integrated route, the Gryphon Diablo will work very well too.By all means, keep the pre and try it out first. | |
| Amplifiers and Dynaudio C2 signatures I'd get a better pre. I think Pass goes with either a Pass pre XP 20 at least or a tube pre like Cary SLP 05 or ARC Ref 5 SE at least. | |
| Amplifiers and Dynaudio C2 signatures DskinnerYou'll get that with a Pass and Dyn pairing. | |
| Amplifiers and Dynaudio C2 signatures I've used Krell with Dyn's. I think Pass Labs is a more musical match. |
