Conrad-johnson TC5 or Cary SLP 05 ?


Hi,

Little down to choose between these two. Which one would sound better? The rest of the gears are Sony SCD 1, VTL monoblocks, and Paradigm floor standing. Also the consider durability. No chance for home audition.

Thanks,
mesael

Two great yet different sounding preamps, the CT 5 offers more detail the SLP 05 is a bit more liquid so it depends on what you are trying to bring out of your system.

The other things to consider is that the CT 5 uses only two tubes so is going to be quieter and very easy to maintain.

Also CT 5 offers totally modern feature set, remote imput switching, theater bypass while the Cary only offers remote volume.
