Cary SLI-80 capacitor problem questions
Sfar, I'm having an issue with my SLI-80 similar to the one you described. Care to share a ballpark figure on the cost of your repair? 
Reason for selling is...

What, if any, component to upgrade? Advice?
A properly integrated sub not only adds heft and depth, it provides a more solid foundation for the sound from your monitors to ride on. The result is definitely more "presence".REL subs can connect to the amp's speaker connectors, so not having a... 
Has anyone experianced Synesthesia?
Reading about others' experiences I feel cheated. The experts promised flashback episodes and there hasn't even been one. ;-) 
My PS Audio Duet Power Center Stopped working
Pdn, you can snug up IECs with Teflon plumber's tape, the kind used to make pipe joints water tight. A few wraps is usually enough. 
Made in America
Regardless of product genre (audio or otherwise) I always try to buy American whenever possible and always avoid Chinese goods. The former because I see it as being best for our economy, the latter because of far too many experiences with poor qua...

Good call on the Smoked Arrogant Bastard, Martykl. Excellent brew except it only comes in a four-pack. ;-) Good luck finding these next two (though they're worth the effort):Shipyard Bourbon Barrel Aged Double ESB (limited edition)Drake's Brewing ... 
Why aren't the older members still active ?
Why don't I post any more? Because Albert didn't include me on his list of missing members. :-( While apparently not very memorable, I did originally log onto A'gon in 2000 and was an active member for a few years, then went into lurk mode. I reap... 
One Less Bose Wave Radio in the World
CW, has your friend and his wife had a chance to listen closely to your system? Doing so would give them (and you) a metric against which to measure their real wants. As someone already mentioned, not everyone is an audiophile and even we exist at... 
This is no joke.
Dekay, membership in the human race was not of my choice; it was unceremoniously thrust upon me at birth (what were my parents thinking?). I am not a joiner, have no desire to be a member of the herd and respectfully decline participation in most ... 
This is no joke.
I was wondering when the PC police would arrive to clean up this site. Doesn't everyone feel more secure now that they're here?Didn't think so. 
sub integration merlin tsm mme
Tzh2ly, our systems have the same model speakers, sub and are in similarly sized rooms. My REL is connected to the amp's speaker outputs using the Unbalanced Neutrik high level input. I suspect yours is as well.In my case, after running and charti... 
Tubes for Cary sli80 integrted
Again, mostly agree with Brf, especially with regard to the Gold Lion reproductions. They're hard to beat for the money.My suggestion would be for better input tubes; IMO they make the second biggest difference after the power tubes. There are a l... 
Tubes for Cary sli80 integrted
My SLI-80 has been retubed similarly to Brf's. The main exception are SED Winged "C" EL34s run exclusively in triode mode. I have a set of the KT88s, too, but my Merlins (and my ears) prefer the extra warmth of the EL34s.
