| Cary Audio SLP-05 First Impression @xcool if you have not done so, take a look at that link above, it describes the upgrade and components. The Mundorfs are obvious if you decide to lift the hood. 6SN7: after burn-in I never quite adjusted to the stock EH 6SN7 tubes in my own Car... | |
| Interconnects for MHDT Orchid @weinhen NOS Tesla 6CC42 (2C51 / 5670 / 6N3P) Looks like this. There is another "pinch waist" version too, but felt the regular version was fine. Looks like this in regular form. If this is too soft or veiled over for you, go back to the GE5670,... | |
| Interconnects for MHDT Orchid @weinhen 1. The function of the non-oversampling R2R ladder technology will help solve some of the digital grain, and provide you "less high frequency brightness" as you are looking for. That’s part of it. Not all of it, burn-in, tubes and cable... | |
| Cary Audio SLP-05 First Impression @xcool a few questions for ya, if known. Agree with others, give it a lot more time. 1) what 6SN7 tubes came with it (EH?) 2) and, the 10 Mundorf caps were installed, correct? 3) How many hours do you have on the SLP-05 now before/after upgrad... | |
| Interconnects for MHDT Orchid @jjss49 i would go with a fairly transparent, lively cable, rather than one that smooths... the orchid already does that somewhat... +1 to what jjss49 said. The other reason is you can fine tune from here with tubes in the Orchid, various to... | |
| phase inverted preamps...about @matrix *BUT the Invert at the Digital domain is absolutly necessary if you hear it, It inverts the "1’s" and "0’s" at the recorded disk and 99% of the discs I have sound far better inverted than standard, much fuller and more analog like,.. ... | |
| Mcintosh 2105 @bernardwilliams I do own one and I sent it to the factory in New York and do to covid they have had my 2105 for over a year. Mcintosh tells me they they might be able to get to it in about ten days . So sad, but you cheer me up when you say it i... | |
| What made you change to a 6SN7 preamp? @invalid ok, did not see it as a quote. Will try again, Thx. @mglik same question, above. And did the tube reseller offer you a return, refund? | |
| What made you change to a 6SN7 preamp? @invalid I paid $750 for 4 Psvane 6SN7 Globes and they were all microphonic. $750 for a quad - where did you source them from? That’s interesting, you can buy a quad of PSVANE Cosor version globes for $259/quad. Can you share more... It’s help... | |
| Shuguang Treasure Series KT120 On the heels of the reported musical chairs shuffle of designers and employees between Shuguang, PSVANE, and TFJM downsizing of tubes, and the Shuguang factory fire, there seemed to be reports of uncertainty about production 2019-2020. It was a... | |
| Denver and Front Range furniture maker -- just did my audio rack! Nice Rack! 🤣 | |
| Shuguang Treasure Series KT120 @falconquest good decision, a few years ago there was more availability of a few different brand KT120s and agree they kinda disappeared. I too recently ordered the Tung Sol KT120s to retry in place of my KT150s. So far so good. | |
| Let me end the Premp/Amplifier sound debate ... @invalid "Well tube amps certainly seem to sound different than high current soild state through Heil AMTs and I’ve done videos that easily prove this. Everything was held the same. The Vanessa tracks are within 0.1 dB and the SRV are within 0.5 ... | |
| Cary Audio SA 200.2 SE power amp (latest version) @dilatante Those should work nicely and a great match with your amp too. Nice. I had the Cardas GC and CR ic cables myself and can truly appreciate what you have there. I did have to get one pair Golden Cross reterminated once. So, this slight ... | |
| Cary Audio SA 200.2 SE power amp (latest version) @dilatante have you swapped in completely different / better shielded interconnects and different speaker cables just for the heck of it to see if anything changes? While my SA-200.2 was dead quiet, some other adjacent components can generate thi... |
