You may like one of these similar items: Manley Stingray iTube. LOG IN. My only question is regarding the bass signal that will be fed to the built in subs in the Zus. Having read about everything out there regarding these amps and generally very positive responses, just wondering, do they the go low? Edit Delete. It all comes down to the output transformer quality, and how the is driven, best is with an inter-stage transformer.
I had some real SET 40kg monoblocks with variable feedback , not called 's. I built these up with 13D3 input, 12bh7 pre driver, b driver into inter-stage transformer which drove the v anodes!! Bass was OK? A good solid state is more dynamic and blows it away in the bass. And a good solid state Class-A equals it in the mids and is more extended in the highs. Cheers George. Thanks George. So in a few words you're saying they would leave something to be desired. Probably going another route then.
Assuming the SACD was well-recorded. Assuming the performance venue and the musicians could yield a great performance. Assuming yadda yadda yadda. Some SACDs, including some classical releases, sound pretty crappy. The works are by Mozart, Schubert, and Mendelssohn. My wife, Marina, was especially sad to see them leave. Indeed it did. Of course, they sounded smaller than the Magellans; and, for a few days, it was difficult to get accustomed. But the CAD Anniversarys seemed to make this small speaker seem much bigger than it is.
I had fun with the CAD Anniversarys, and I expect to have even more fun with them in the months to come. I especially enjoyed being able to switch between the and output tube—"a doddle," as the British like to say, meaning "a breeze. I expected to like the CAD Anniversary better with the output tube than with the But once I'd let the tubes run in, danged if I didn't prefer the It wasn't a question of power, for me, although Dennis said that the can deliver more power than the It was a matter of slightly better bass control and somewhat improved resolution.
The seemed a little soft and fuzzy. The sounded more authoritative, assured, and revealing. Dennis was not surprised. He called the tube more "romantic," the more "dramatic. But in actual listening, the seems to offer a more precise presentation. Here is a situation where we are not able to prove that on the test bench, but it shows up when you listen. Some of these high-sensitivity speakers seem to sound very forward. The produces a laid-back sound that's available to the user at the flip of a switch and a twist of the socket.
I've encountered this before, and it's not necessarily a cause for alarm—apparently, gases need to be burned off. The tubes I received with the CAD Anniversary were absolutely quiet, but the s misbehaved slightly.
One of the s liked to squeak during the first 60 seconds of turn-on. Then it would quiet down. Then the other , previously quiescent, went through the same squeaking routine. None of this lasted for more than a minute, and there were no alarming bangs or pops—just squeaks, squeals, and tiny farts.
After a few weeks, both s powered up quietly, like little children who had been toilet-trained. Tubes are almost human—a good part of their charm. The CAD is still one of the greatest hi-fi products of the past 40 years. Even JA thinks so. It's one of these very rare products that seems to get so many things right, to outshine and outlast the competition. There's not another amplifier you can buy that is quite like it. It has a soul. It has humanity. It may have its flaws, but every hi-fi product does—including those that measure perfectly.
A visiting hi-fi manufacturer, not connected in any way with Cary Audio, saw the amps on our living-room floor and looked on in admiration: "They're classics," he said. Indeed they are. Assuming you can afford them, should you buy a pair of CAD Anniversary amps? I don't know. It depends on your speakers and your priorities. Some speakers and some rooms may simply need more power. You may want even more tightly articulated bass—or whatever. Tubes may give you the heebie-jeebies.
Even JA came around, eventually—and this was before the Anniversary Edition. One more anecdote. Martin is usually a very straight-ahead, serious, test-bench sort of chap. I wish I possessed such credentials. I could have pursued a proper career. He was flabbergasted. He didn't know what to make of the CADs. I believe that he called them "curious antiquities," or some such.
But much to his credit, Martin suspended his disbelief and actually listened. Tel: Fax: Web: www. Log in or register to post comments. Related Latest Galleries Recommended.
