| Cary Audio SLP-05 First Impression @dger1979 definitely a noticeable sonic difference with different rectifiers. Stock Sovtek- kind of bland overall, nothing offensive but nothing great New production Gold Lion- improved dynamics but thick and veiled sound. NOS Amperex- Pun... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @danmar123 thanks. did you get the Linlai global or global elite? | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @pinwa When I first goy my SLP-05 I asked Cary if 1,2 and 4,5 need to be a matched quad. The answer was no, but they do need to be the same tube. Meaning 1,2 need to be a matched pair and 4,5 also need to be a matched pair of the same tube bran... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes Does the global elite model sound any better than the global? I have an SLP-05 too, currently using Sylvania 50's GTA. Thanks. | |
| Cary Audio SLP-05 First Impression @dger1979 Just checked mine and it reads 250 / 69. I am not concerned about it, been playing solid for almost 3 years. E-mail Steve at Cary, they he'll get back to you right away. I wonder if it has to do with the tube rectifier installed. ... | |
| Considering moving to separates with a tube preamp-appreciate recommendations Cary Audio SLP-05 and Parasound a21+ The SLP-05 is one of the best sounding preamps on the market and features a stand alone power supply box with low noise R-core transformer. the main unit uses glorious sounding 6SN7 and tube rectification. S... | |
| Pass x260.8 v. Parasound JC1+? I do not like the combo of Parasound and KEF blades. Cold and dry. The new .8 Pass are your ticket. | |
| Harbeth 40.3's. Should I buy them? Definitely risky with your room and amp. Your amp is very nice but has a 120 watt rating at 8 ohms 1Khz. Full bandwidth is more like 70 watts and probably no more than that at lower impedances. The Harbeth 40s really need authoritative control of... | |
| Feedback QLN Prestige Three Speakers Requested I heard these at AXPONA audio show in Chicago last April. They do sound warm and laid back but I personally could not own them, too much of the music’s presence was missing. It is possible to have a balanced, slightly tapered off sound that is ... | |
| Warm, Lush Laid-Back Smaller Floor Standers? You have a miss match between a large room and small inefficient speakers that need more power than your tube amp can provide at 6 ohms. Subwoofers are a nice consideration but will not get you all the way there. The Qln Speakers are extremely p... | |
| I bought a Rogue Atlas Magnum II. Will my gear will match well with it? I had a Cronus Mag II driving Harbeth SHL5+ and the pairing was spectacular. the Atlas should be great and give your Lux amp a run for the money. should also work well (but not as well) with the monitor audio speakers depending on room size a... | |
| Musical Fidelity or Michi for B&W 702 McIntosh amplifiers pair nicely with the B&W speakers. | |
| Something other than Harbeth SHL5 OP- be careful of going to a speaker smaller in scale compared to the SHL5. you would hate to lose something in the process. | |
| What Could Cause Center Image To Present Lower than Expected Two things you can do to raise the sound stage- 1) Definitely bring your speakers away from the wall! 4 inches is much to close for them to develop the space around them needed for a large sound stage in all dimensions. Try for at least 2 feet... | |
| Which amp for my new Volti Razz Great Speakers ! They can really play loudly with low watts, heard them at AXPONA last April being driven by a 16 Watt SET amp and the sound was huge. What preamp do you have? |
