Warm and Detailed S.S. Amp?

Hey Marco, Warm in relationship to what! Maybe that upperbass lower midrange 'emphasis/coloration' is actually not either, but represents the sound of live music. :-)

Just kidding, sort of. BUT one's description is always relative to their experience. Personally speaking, I'm one of those guys who likes a bit of that bloom, just a bit now. But its interesting to read reviews and users comments made by folks which describe contemporary stuff with which I'm fairly familar and consider anything but 'warmish' in any aspect. I cringe when I hear some one describe some popular tube amps, and many SS amps, as having any 'warmth' at all. I wonder sometimes what are they comparing them to! Gives me aural chills. Burrrrrrrr :-)

OK lets see if we can reach an agreement on that 'simple' request. :-)

I nominate 100 to 300 hz for upper bass/lower mid range and 1500 to 4000 hz for upper mid-range lower treble.

Are you keeping score Tvad? :-)

OK I vote for Harleys definitions! Now just tell me when I'm listening to the fat lady sing how i know when the high note is 1500 or 2500 hz.

Maybe in addition to Harleys breakdown, we also need one of those charts that show the range of all of the musical instruments etc so when I describe low bass coming from a flute you can look at the chart and tell me I'm FOS because a flute don't go that low!

Tvad, I'm kidding!!!!!!!!!!

Marco, Can you tell me more about the Cary SLP. I recently acquired the 'matching' SLM50BmkII's and was wondering if the '50' would be additive warmth wise (not a good thing for me), more neutral, or just plain synergetic. Have you used it with anything other than the Panache? E-mail me if you don't want to clutter up this thread. Thanks.......

Marco, Thanks for the description. Its as if you read my mind when you mentioned the B edition (I knew where one was available) and the 6922 tube - don't need more 6922 based audio products (although I was scrounging around my stash for a new cpd I'm playing with and found a dozen old rebadged EI's I had used in my SP10 in the late 80's. Didn't work well there, but do they sing in the CDP!) You haven't heard in your travels the SLP 98 have you?
