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

Agree, The SLP-05 is a very good preamp and will always have a place in my heart. But it just always needed a little more. Love the build and looks quality way more than many other preamp's. I just need (want) a little more openness and faster details that it can put out at the moment. I've tried cables, tubes, tweaks and it's just a little slower than I want at this time. I'm open to comments and idea's however.

@sqitis I think you will find what you are looking for with the BHK.I would love to hear your impression after installing it in your system.

There is another thread discussing what component you would keep. It would be my BHK pre. Love it.

Yeah I can’t wait to get it installed! I’m pacing the floors as we speak...smiley

I read on the PSA forums that I can run the 6SN7 variant with the correct adapter. That might get interesting with the stock I have on hand plus what I want to buy from Andy at VTS.

I must confess that I’ve had 3 Cary SLP-05 

@sqitis , it took you three of those preamps to decide that they were not for you?
