| 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!! 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 ... | |

| Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval 8...OMG!! Found the midrange "spike and glare" culprit with my new AP Crystal ICs. Swapped my new 1.0M (200hrs) pair to my amps, and moved the longer 1.5M pair (400hrs) to my DAC. Fixed. Also the sound stage and voices stepped back a little too, not so forw... |
