Cary slp-05 tubes rumor or fact?

Has2be/Kgturner,

Thanks for the idea. I'll see if I can get some dimensional info on the octal savers, then decide

Raquel,

NOS options are in my auditioning plans. Just heard such good things about the Black Treasure that they made the first cut of my choices. Thought if confirmed that they will not fit, that would eliminate them from further consideration.

Looking for that elusive combination of 3-D soundstage (particularly depth) and great dynamics.

Markus1299,

I have NOS pope 12ax7s and really like their effect on the sound. Best ones I used. Just didn't want to spend the big $$$$ for (6) 6SN7s.

Jtran,

Thanks - maybe an option

Jtwrace,

Thanks for your kind advice. But I am still in tube roll mode and not yet in unit replacement mode.

Thanks for all the good info everyone.

Kiwi_1282001:

I've taken the BT's off my list. Thanks

Right now I am using CBS Hytron 5692's which I feel do have an enjoyably deep soundstage. But the bug in my ear keeps telling me that there must be an even better tube out there that meets my criteria. Any recommendations from other previous Hytron users in the slp-05 that have moved on to greener pastures tube-wise?

Thanks

John

Thanks Jtran.

I currently run four Hytrons and a pair of Cryo'd gold pin EH. But you now have me considering buying a quad of the Sophias and Psvanes and trying various combos. This could be fun!! How would you characterize the difference between the two?

Regards,

John
