| Buzz/Hum from Cary SLI-80 I have a SLI-80 and its dead quiet. To clarify, is the hum coming from the speakers or from the Cary itself? If through the speakers, does the hum come through both speakers or just one? If its just from one side it could be a bad tube. To test yo... | |
| Static discharge when touching amp ...but the wooden knobs will crack from the lack of humidity! Gregadd is right, buy a humidifier. Your health, furniture and equipment will all benefit. | |
| Anyone have a scratch repair tip for black compone Maybe a Sharpie pen? | |
| Leave tube amp on all day? Welcome to the SLI-80 club. Its a great amp. If you search the FAQ's at Cary's website (CaryAudio.com), they offer their advice on this issue. My recollection, in a nutshell, is that Cary advises to turn the amp off if you plan to go more than a f... | |
| With Cary Tube System: AQ Cheetah or Nordost Frey? I have an all Cary tube system and have had great success with the Acoustic Zen cables. I'm using single wire Satori speaker cables and the Matrix Reference II interconnects. | |

| KT-88's better than EH ... The Penta version with the 3 holes in the plates is the KT88-98 tube that you can buy through several online outlets. Penta advised me that they substituted this tube for the solid plate "KT88SC", when they were sold out of the solid plate version... | |
| Itching for an SACD player How about the Cary 306 SACD? Haven't heard it myself, but its developing a pretty good buzz about both its redbook and SACD playback. | |
| Do You Remember Your First CD Player? Mine was a JVC, bought in 1989. I still use it in my excercise room. It has a digital out, a headphone jack and even has a variable out, although I've never that feature. | |
| KT-88's better than EH ... My favorite KT88 is the KT88SC is from Penta Labs. This is also a Chinese tube by Shuguang, but is reportedly made to specs of the Genelex 88's. These tubes get rave reveiws over at Audio Asylum and several guys over there swear that these are com... | |
| Who else prefers 5751s and why? I much preferred the 5751 in a Jolida JD100 CD player I once owned. In fact, I preferred the rather inexpensive JAN GE 5751 to some rather pricey NOS 12AX7's. However, I liked the 12AX7 variant better in a Jolida 302b integrated amp. |
