Description

What to add next? I just bought the Cary to replace a NAD 515 carousel and was a bit disappointed in that the change didn't overwhelm me. I am thinking of changing the interconnect, but to what? Listen to mostly jazz, classical and opera.

Arthur,
Thanks for your kind words - the amp is truly wonderful - I am always tempted to buy diferent speakers to see what it can really do, but I never know what to get! -
Best,
Jim

I am getting the upgrade/change bug, again, as usual. I am looking to change speakers, most likely to monitors. Listen to mostly 50's jazz at low to moderate levels. Any suggestions? Thinking maybe Silverline SR 15, Proac 1SC, or...?

Thanks to all the 'Goners out there that have helped me transform my system from commercial low fi to a system that is really pleasing. Any and all suggestions are always welcome. My listening tastes are jazz, mostly hard bop/trio, with most listening done at low to moderate volumes. Thanks again.

Thanks for everyone's input. I listen at low to moderate volume. The 317 attracted me because of its warm sound. I listened to an Anthem 1 and it just didn't sound "right." I think you guys are right, though, I was just hoping I didn't have to replace the 317!

Thanks for the response. I should add, too, that the power cord on the Cary is a Shunyata Mamba (not the Black Mamba, but its predecessor). I should add, too, that I am not disappointed in the Cary, I just thought that the difference would be more dramatic.
