| Cary SLP 98 users, past and present, are there any left? @erik_squires Going to try reversing speaker leads today. May also try the battery test just to verify that the AR9's are in phase to begin with. Can't imagine that they are not but you never know I guess. I have mistakenly wired speakers out of... | |
| Cary SLP 98 users, past and present, are there any left? @decooney Wouldn't my system sound terrible if I have the speakers wired out of phase? I just went through a whole test record and to my knowledge, my system is OK the way it is. Very strange. I wonder if the F1 or some upgrades made mine differ... | |
| Cary SLP 98 users, past and present, are there any left? @decooney I'm keeping track of this, that's for sure. What about the input pots? What position do you keep yours in? Is yours stock, upgraded or??????????? Mine is the F1 and has the MC Lundahl upgrade, which I have yet to use. With yours, do yo... | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? @dogberry Thanks to you. I'll probably pick up more. | |
| Cary SLP 98 users, past and present, are there any left? @immatthewj Thanks. I have read through this on Cary Direct several times. It isn't terribly thorough. It does say that the SLP 98 is phase inverted so that speaker wires should be reversed.?????????????????? I have not reversed mine and I certa... | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? @dogberry Just picked up Op 3 test records 1 and 2 on ebay. Vinyl. Looking forward to having them. | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? @sls883 Have some October Project on my watchlist. Thanks | |
| Cary SLP 98 users, past and present, are there any left? @immatthewj I am not listening to the JJ tubes. I should probably just box them up as it's my understanding that I don't need them as long as I'm using a different phono stage. I should just be hearing the EH 6SN7 tubes which are not big favorit... | |
| Cary SLP 98 users, past and present, are there any left? @immatthewj OK, so I went back and read this thread. Interesting for sure. It would appear that not quite "full open" might be best? Hard to say for sure but listening to how each one behaves is probably the only real solution. There are so many... | |
| If anyone is still looking for a SLP-98 @immatthewj It has been very informative. I'm happy too. | |
| If anyone is still looking for a SLP-98 @immatthewj I took it as the offhand joke but considered that I had sort of taken over the thread as well. All good, my apology to your apology to.................and so on. :) | |
| Cary SLP 98 users, past and present, are there any left? @decooney Thanks for this. I think I'm comfortable with it after what you say. It gets warm, not what I'd call hot. I could leave my hand on easily without discomfort. Where do you normally have your separate channel volume controls? I've been... | |
| If anyone is still looking for a SLP-98 @immatthewj I didn't mean to hijack your thread but I guess I more or less did take it over. I should be more mindful in the future. Sorry. | |
| If anyone is still looking for a SLP-98 @harpo75 Yup, I've read about the Sweet Little Preamp and the 98 significance. Same with the 80. 90. 94 and the 05 I think. Apparently, Dennis Had used this "code" in a number of builds, at least preamps. Maybe he had some meaning behind all the... | |
| Cary SLP 98 users, past and present, are there any left? @decooney I have to say that everything was very well packed and I don't see how anything could have been damaged in shipping without throwing it off a building. Box was not damaged at all, preamp and PS were individually wrapped very well in la... |
