| Replacing The Stock EH 6SN7 Tubes For Cary SLP 05 I have tried a lot of 6SN7 tubes except Tungsol round plates.Can't afford them. The best by far I have found is the 1962 nos russian 6HC8 tube from Upscale Audio. Tube is identical to 6SN7's and at $25 per tube must be tried. I have stopped tube r... | |
| Good/bad idea? Oppo in 2 channel w/out preamp? The 83SE is already upgrade from a stock 83 by Oppo. When a friend was going to upgrade from is 83 to the 83se or NuForce a tech at nuforce told him to just do the 83se upgrade. The Nuforce was not really that much of an improvement. The Modwright... | |
| Lowthers and subwoofers? I use a Sunfire sub with my Lowther Medallions. I run the Lowthers full range and set the subs for 60hz crossover. If you do not use subs you will not get much base below 50 to 60 hz. I don't feel there is any compromize at all. The Lowthers are h... | |
| Should I bother to try a subwoofer? I have found that the better the quality of the main speaker the greater the improvement with a sub in added ambience and low level resolution. The addition of the sound of the hall for classical music the greater the retrieval of very low level s... | |
| Best turntable for 500? Look at the audio adviser sight. Several good turntables with cartridge and all setup ready to play. The REga and Project players are nice | |
| Amp more important than speakers? The two go together amp and speaker but I would always buy the speaker first and then find an amp that will go with it c | |
| Speakers free of grain, glare and steel? Get a pair of Maggie 1.7's or used 1.6'sMagic | |
| impedance question If the sub is in line with the speakers set at zero. If some other position experiment with the phase setting. Why don't you feed your sub from a line output from your pre to the high level or line inputs on your sub? It almost sounds like you do ... | |
| Number of yrs. to reach the finished line? Over 60 years and during that time have had 5 "Final" systemsThat is also why tubes are fun because you can change the sound of the system by tube rolling although that can also get expensive. My power amp has 16 KT-88's | |
| Back to tubes? Look at some of the Shindo preamps. They emotionally connect you to the music better than any other preamp I have heard | |

| Different between Shindo Masseto & Monbrison Pres They have completely different tubes. The Masseto is heavier and has been described as a Monbrisson on steroids. The masseto has a little better low level resolution and maybe a little more dynamic sounding. They are both outstanding preamps and c... | |
| How do I connect my sub to a miniwatt N3 Megido, The sensitivity of the P4 is 88db. The miniwatt may have trouble driving them. You are talking about 2-1/2 watts and it may not be enough. Have you heardthis combination? | |
| How do I connect my sub to a miniwatt N3 I would use a y adaptor off the output of the pre or at the input of the miniwatt and go into the line input of the sub. I assume the sub is self powered |
