| Speakers for Vintage Marantz ? Plus other Qs I forgot to mention I also have a 2220b receiver in my backyard shop (25 x 35) hooked up to a pair of quad 11L mini monitors and it sounds great too. | |
| Speakers for Vintage Marantz ? Plus other Qs I am using a 2265b with a pair of jbl 2600 bookshelf speakers as my main audio with my t.v./ computer/ xbox one in my living room. They can be had for less than $100 a pair on ebay right now. They are front ported so placement is easy. It is shock... | |
| Sanders 10c/d + Magtech + tube preamp I have a setup that is similar to what you are suggesting. A cary slp-05 tube pre into a innersound esl 300 (sanders esl 300) that powers a pair of magnepan 3.7 speakers augmented by a pair of velodyne dd8 subs. It is a very nice sounding setup an... | |
| Upgradying Tube Preamp Budget?I went from a classe audio dr6 to a cary slp-05 that I got for a great deal. Depending on your budget I would suggest the slp-05 used or if that is too much to spend maybe a used slp-98.I have also heard that the audible illusion preamp sou... | |
| Tube preamp for SS amp I recently swapped to a cary slp-05 from a classe dr6 in my rig. It feeds a sanders sound esl-300 ss amp and a pair of Maggie 3.7's.I should have made the swap to a tube pre a long time ago.... it is the best upgrade in sound quality I have had fr... | |
| Tube rolling Cary SLP-05 Lwin I guess you used the adapters they sell on ebay to use 6f8g tubes? If so the adapters did not degrade the sound any?Thanks,Dave | |
| Tube rolling Cary SLP-05 Yes I used the rca inputs first from my oppo with audioquest cables. When you use the rca inputs you bypass the use of tubes 3,6 in the preamp as they are used only for the balanced input circuit. When I switched to the mogami blanced xlr's the so... | |
| Tube rolling Cary SLP-05 I also forgot to mention that I replaced the stock 5ar4 with a 1959 vintage mullard Blackburn plant piece and it tightened up the bass. I actually did this before I started rolling the 6sn7'sDave | |
| Tube rolling Cary SLP-05 I will also add that for these to sound like they do in my system only the Tung-Sol black glass round plates in the balanced buffer (3,6) brought out the magic from the oppo bdp-95. None of my other tubes made the combo sound the same... even TS b... | |
| Tube rolling Cary SLP-05 They sell them on ebay, they also have their own site. The company is called cryoset. I don't know if pricing is allowed on the forums but the matched pair gold pin EH 6sn7's are $59.95 USD. Considering that top quality NOScan ost 5-10 times as mu... | |
| What is best sub to match with Magnepan? I use a pair of velodyne optimum 8 subs with my Maggie 3.7's. They are a lightning fast responding sealed enclosure sub that blend in perfectly with my setup.My setup is in a very small dedicated room 14x16x8. Associated gear... oppo bdp-95, cary ... | |
| When is an amp ‘just too old? ’ To buy? I use my classe dr6 preamp and bryston 3bst with maggie 1.6qr's and it sounds fantastic to my ears. I did have the same combo driving a pair of quad 11L mini monitors and it was bright sounding.The mini monitors were much better sounding with a Bo... | |
| When is an amp ‘just too old? ’ To buy? I own a 13 year old bryston and 17 year old classe preamp. They both work perfectly and are used daily in my 2 channel h/t setup. I have never had a problem with them. (knock on wood!!) I also own 2 marantz recievers that are over 30 years old (bo... | |
| maggie 1.6qr Thanks for the responses. I am currently in the process of preparing the new larger room for move in. I am waiting on new carpet to be installed and I am now painting the room also.I have a nice loveseat also that is my listening "chair". I will p... | |
| Best sound in old late 70s early 80s receivers I have owned a pioneer sx650 and still own a sansui au517, (integrated amp) a marantz 2265b, and a marantz 2220b.I have tried them all with the 3 sets of speakers I own. Klipsch heresies, klipsch kg4's, and quad 11L's.While all of them were very n... |
