Cary Audio SLP-5 Preamp Tube Replacement.
Hello Guys,
I have stock tubes in my Cary SLP-05 and want to replace them with Psvane CV181-T MKII (6SN7) or you have any other recommendations? I am hoping you can help me if I need to buy all eight tubes or I can do with less tubes. I hope they fit in Cary and which slots I should replace them in? I only use RCA cables and not balanced cables. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks.
Thank you for your replies my friends. So, let me get it right, I just need to replace 1, 2, 4 and 5 slots as I only use unbalanced cables? Also @pinwa Did the Linlai tubes fit and how do they sound in SLP5? I really appreciate your giving time to my queries. Thanks. |
@immatthewj I ordered from AliExpress as they have the lowest prices as @perkri said. Viva tubes has them, but the price is about $100 more. The expected delivery is March 8th. Keeping my fingers crossed. |
@xcool thanks for your reply. I think I will leave the stock EH in 3 and 6 and only change the four tubes mentioned. I have read somewhere that all tubes interact with each other in the circuit so the sockets has to have tubes in them and not to leave them empty. I might buy tubes for the headphone as I use headphones once in a while. I will try the Psvane once Linlai’s are paid off. |
