| Power Amp To Go With Cary SLP98P Preamp @dylanfan...You obviously missed the tube sound. Was there a big difference? The subtly and the air of tubes is hard for me to get rid of...Yes. I'd used solid state for 35 years. Thought I could go back to it pairing up my SLP-98. It was good b... | |
| Power Amp To Go With Cary SLP98P Preamp @dylanfan 12-08-2019 5:54pmI like the Dialogue 5 fine. Have some Gold Lion KT77s I have not tried yet. I like the Primaluna KT88s pretty well actually. Just got an itch to get a matching power amp to my new Cary Preamp. Ahhh, gotcha! Know the itc... | |

| Power Amp To Go With Cary SLP98P Preamp @dylanfanYes. The Dialog 5 does. I prefer it with KT88 tubes over the kt120 tubes. I like the el34s but like a little more power with the Ryan speakers. I have some kt77s I might try as well. The new EVO400 Primaluna has more power and el34 tubes ... | |
| Power Amp To Go With Cary SLP98P Preamp @dylanfanI have heard the Ryan speakers with my Primaluna Dialogue 5 Power amp. A Rogue Atlas Magnum II Power amp. McIntosh 2200 Power amp. Peachtree Nova 220Se. I just got the Cary SLP98 preamp and thought I would get in if their power amps eithe... | |
| Power Amp To Go With Cary SLP98P Preamp @dylanfan I talked to Mark at Reno Hi Fi this afternoon and he recommended the 150.8 Power amp so I am researching a little about it. Class AB so it won’t get so hot in my small room and gives me more watts for my more inefficient speakers. A real... | |
| Power Amp To Go With Cary SLP98P Preamp @dylanfan The little XA25 amp is pretty sweet too. A few buddies with Cary tube amps also have the XA25 and flip back and forth for variety. If your Ryan speakers are truly 85db, something else to consider about efficiency - depending how loud y... | |

| Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval 8...OMG!! BURN-IN HYPE or REAL with AP cables ???Not sure if I’m having one good or bad day with my ears either, but I could swear maybe these AP cables do tend to burn-in with more time. Is the recommended 300hrs of burn-in time the manufacturer for real, ... | |
| Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval 8...OMG!! @jtcf ...I have a basic understanding of how reflections and timing errors distort the digital signal so finding one that is a perfect match is yet another adventure.-----------------------Okay, good to know. So let the experiment continue. I orde... | |
| Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval 8...OMG!! re: DIGITAL COAX RCA cable: ???Some people praise this change while other's may not. REQUEST: Has anyone here tried or using the Analysis Plus Crystal Solo [DIGITAL COAX] cable in 1.0M or 1.5M in your rig? Any notable difference? | |
| Cary Audio SLI-80HS vs Primaluna Dialogue HP or Evo Integrated Amps @three_easy_payments..they suggested that KT120s would be a notable SQ upgrade over the KT88s in the SLI-80HS. Hmmm. All circuit and system dependent I guess. The GL KT88s were really nice in my former SLI-80, and KT120s not so much in my current ... | |
