Traded Off my SLP-05


So I just traded off my beloved Cary SLP-05 to TMR for a nice BHK Signature Pre with some Tele tubes. Please tell me I didn't make a mistake....smiley So I've never heard the BHK in live person but read/listen/read more reviews online and felt it "could" be an upgrade in my setup. Associated gear below and my room is 36x18x9. Lend me your gentle thoughts if you can. TIA

I sold my Cary SLP-05 after I borrowed a used BHK Signature Pre from a dealer. To me it sounded better stock than the modified Cary pre which was feeding a pair of Cary Founders edition amps. After a few weeks to get the sound imprinted in my mind, I started tube rolling and settled on a pair of NOS Telefunken tubes. I also replaced the fuse with a Synergistic Research Master fuse.

So to answer your question, in my opinion you didn’t make a mistake. Enjoy your new toy?

If it truly was, you wouldn't have parted ways with it.

The BHK was highly rated by both users and reviewers, but in the end no one has your ears.

Your allowing needless audio neurosis take over before you even listen to it!

Relax, enjoy it.

I believe I read your other post about this and that was part of my decision to make the switch. Curious, which Tele's you went with, 12v or 6v which series? I was thinking SR Pink or Beeswax M2 fuse as well. I'm sure the SR Master is a game changer but want to take steps.
