| "I am there" vs. "They are here" Zaikesman-Thanks for the well written response. What an interesting thing; to plunk a live trio in the spot where your system would be! What a let down (in a way) to find prediliction towards the reproduced version. That really says something posi... | |
| Stock Tubes on Cayin TA-30? I dunno-Some Chinese tube I guess... Paul @ 2B said it's tough to improve on the stock tubes. I think he mentioned an Electro Harmonix el34 that worked well in the output stage. The stock 12au7 were good - and the JJ tesla ecc83 for the 12ax7.Ive ... | |
| "I am there" vs. "They are here" Subaruguru-In your post back in '01 you touched on a subject that I had been puzzling over for some time.Pinpoint imaging I felt would be the mark of an attractive 'I am there' sound. It turned out not to be the case for me. It seemed rather unnat... | |

| Memories........What made you catch the Audio Bug? I was exposed to Hi-Fi and live music from a young age, I thought all music sounded great until I heard lesser systems. Lucky me! My Dad was a cabinet and speaker builder in the Seattle area during the 60s and 70s. We had a system he built that we... | |
| Cayin TA-30 thoughts... A rather chunky old Sony Sacd 333 unit. The speakers are a DIY Dynaudio 52 model, with a 12" sub patterned on the Ariel. I find little use for the sub with the addition of the Cayin, but sometimes it gets powered up. | |
| Cayin TA-30 thoughts... Glad to hear you are enjoying the ta-30.Having had mine for several months now, all I can say is it keeps getting better.I have only one real problem with the amp. After a late night of listening and having been completely melted into the sofa- it... | |
| Regarding people selling equipment to U.S.A. only You would think so.I just sold an amp on e-bay to an overseas buyer. When he found it would cost 250 US to ship he backed out and left me stuck. | |
| Best Bike to ride before a good listening session I live in Reno. The DS is blue. Your team SC must be a nice ride. The Rex is gorgeous- I should ride it more often. | |
| Best Bike to ride before a good listening session I really like my Della Santa road bike. Then again the Steve Rex is pretty nice too. On the other hand I love how the ol' Schwinn Paramount handles. Wait, the fixed gear is great fun... oh, and the recumbent is like riding a low rider. I need to g... | |
| Cayin T30 Degabe,I think it will depend on the speaker you are using, the music you listen to and the spl you require. With the right setup I would be certain of it's ability. I wish my room were larger...at least a higher ceiling.I find the Cayin to have a... | |
| jolida 302a + totem arro / pre-out for sub? Ditch the Y connector pronto. It seems to destroy the stereo image from the amp. If your sub has any other inputs besides rca check your manual or call Dr. Hsu. | |
| Cayin T30 Velo-I have only used the stock tubes to this point, so I can't comment on your kt-88's. Did you try the el-34? I am unsure how the kt-88 would effect the character.I am using an unported sub to uphold the bass foundation of some small Dynaudio sp... | |
| Cayin T30 Mine did too at first. The odor was a sweet moth ball sort of smell. It has been a month and almost completely gone away. The sound just gets better-enjoy! | |
| jolida 302a + totem arro / pre-out for sub? My sub has two inputs. Low level rca type and high level spkr terminal type with a special connector. The sub has a BK electronics amplifier. I guess not all subs have that capacity, but I should think that most do. I just wire it up and go. Sound... |
