| Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval 8...OMG!! Last update and post on AP "Crystal" OCC interconnects and lesson’s learned. Heads up, these specific OCC copper cables may cause you to completely re-evaluate other pieces of your gear after 60 days of use, burn-in, and using these ICs end-to-end... | |
| Upgrade order suggestion preamp vs speakers woah, this thread jumped from 2006 to 2019. Wonder what speakers the OP ended up with for the past 13 years, hehehe :) | |
| Preamp Output Capacitor: Mundorf Supreme vs. Supreme Silver Oil @cal3713 Anyone compared the bass response of these two caps? Yes. Both. And, I was advised by a 50 year tech and a designer of my amplifier on two things. The designer had to beat it into my head a few times for me to believe it. I have the M... | |
| 6SN7 variants circa 2019 - tone, longevity, reliability, value It was the combined use of different tubes in each of my separate components that came together recently. Persistence for perfection can be costly with 6SN7s. The final answer was the combination of the right 12AU7 inputs on my amps to go along wi... | |
| 6SN7 variants circa 2019 - tone, longevity, reliability, value @markusthenaimnut...I’m interested in hearing your thoughts about *Tone*, reliability and value. I’ve been trying to get a handle on the Shuguang & Psvane tubes. Many folks rave about them sounding better than virtually all the famous NOS tube... | |

| Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval 8...OMG!! Enjoy! Formerly messing with silver cables I equated "open" sounding designs with more detailed results too. Its pretty neat how these OCC copper crystal solo cables can be open, larger sound stage, and yet still smooth with detail at the same tim... | |
| 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 @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... |
