I just ordered a Cary 120S Mk II. I want to try it with my Magnepan .7s. The Pass Labs works well, but I want to try tube amplification.

Good man. I still run a Cary on occasion and it is all of 25 years old. I love the fact it uses four 6sn7's along with KT 88's.

Yes, but... I've listened/owned quite a few NOS DACs, and however delightful they are in pure NOS, ultimately they fall short in one area or another for Redbook material. But complemented with well-chosen external DSP, which requires a sufficiently powerful computer, the story can be different, but the cost may end up above $8K.

That is like Schiit saying and I paraphrase... for the music you have, not the music you have to have...

They got me at " Made In The USA ".

 

[Plautus001]

Sorry, but explaining that would require a comprehensive review.
I don't do those.

Come-on, just a few chapters?

 

[Ripper2860]

Come on. Pretend it's a business PowerPoint presentation and you're limited to 2 slides with 3 bullet points each. And you must use A4 slide size and minimum 18 point Callibri font.

I do have help with Japanese high carbon single beveled blades.Finnegan and I refurbed these.

Seeing Finnegan completes Thanksgiving

It was In The Garden of Eden but they were in too stoned to pronounce it

I did not use Google. Heard it on a rock radio show years ago.

King Biscuit Flower Hour?

I was a regular, every Sunday Evening.

How I miss some pastimes.

Why do I have chills?

our young orange tabbys love plastic springs…

I have several pet wolverines that live in the basement level of my 3 story house. I enjoy shooting various wild animals that venture into my back yard from my 3rd floor balcony with my trusty .22 rifle (with scope). Birds, squirrels, raccoons, skunks. Anything I kill, the wolverines collect and eat.

This is either the whole truth, or total bull.

True dat, I meant to all our American friends celebrating aujour'd hui

Are they tho? Or... are they just trying to steal our secret tube pulled turkey bbq recipe?

 

[Mr Rick]

With Maggie's????

Yes, I'm hoping 120wpc in Ultra linear will do the job. If not, the XA-25 does fine. I typically listen in the mid seventy db range.

May not be *exactly* the same, as the narration in ours was in Portuguese.

Fair point! Ours was in english.

Fun reading folks first concerts. Mine was either David Bowie in his Ziggy Stardust days, or the Moody Blues with Mike Pinder. Both at the Long Beach Arena.

How about first two channel systems?

Mine was a Sherwood 8900 Receiver, a Dual 1219 turntable with Shure cart, a Sony TC-366 R to R deck, and a pair of JBL Lancer 77 speakers.

Those were the days when I still had my high frequency hearing.

Good one!

My first real system* was as follows:
NAD Model 120 Stereo Receiver
Harksound (CEC) HS210 Turntable with an Ortofon cart
Toshiba (Aurex) PC-X20 Cassette Deck
Magnavox DIY 3-way speakers with 8-30 Woofers

All this bought with money from a morning paper round and after school work
My mother constantly reminded me I wasn't deaf, but I would soon hahaha

* before then my brother and I had a radio each (mine also included air-band )

I'd be interested in your thoughts on the 120S Mk II. I had the Mk 1 in my system for a bit (on loan) and found it very muddy sounding. Much better to me were the McIntosh MC275 V5 and CJ LP66S (although the latter had significantly less power: the Mac however sounded much more powerful than its rating) I also listened to at the same time. Pre-amp was probably either a CJ 17LS or a Modwright 36.5 (can't remember which).
