| Microphonic from Vacuum Tubes? @buellrider97 , as a fellow Cary amp owner, which Cary amp was that? @xcool I'm inclined to think that the culprit could be something with the preamp or the new tubes. I understand gut feelings. As we have the same preamp, I follow your thr... | |
| Primaluna or not Primaluna It will use tube rectification and not solid state rectification (because I have heard solid state rectification takes away the tube sound). My first tube amp was a Cary SLA 70 (I still have it) and it has tube rectification. I bought a pair o... | |
| Microphonic from Vacuum Tubes? If its randomly in both, FWIW I'd be more suspicious of your source... I was wondering about that myself, but I don't know anything at all about streaming. Do you have a CD player you could run for an extended period of time to see if it pops... | |
| Microphonic from Vacuum Tubes? As @atmasphere said, it might not be the preamp that is causing the pop. What are you running for an amplifier? Generally speaking, when I have had a tube going noisy in my preamp, I could find which one it was by lightly tapping it with my fing... | |
| Sad songs- We love them- We need them "Put The Bone In" Terry Jacks. (This was actually on the flip side of "Seasons In The Sun.") | |
| Are Their any Tube Preamp with Home Theater Bypass? The Cary SLP 05 also has a HT bypass. | |
| Sad songs- We love them- We need them From the "Human Remains" CD, "Little Sandy" Terry Allen | |
| Sad songs- We love them- We need them "Everybody Hurts" REM | |
| Sad songs- We love them- We need them @switzer145 another vote for "Sweet Old World"! Yes! However, as much as I like Emmy Lou’s cover of it, I am prejudiced and I love the original by Lucinda Williams. | |
| Sad songs- We love them- We need them Although "Daniel" from "Don't Shoot Me, I'm Only The Piano Player" is the saddest-for-me Elton John Song (possibly due to personal family events we were experiencing back then), "Blues For Baby And Me" off the same album always stuck me as melanch... | |
| Sad songs- We love them- We need them "Accidentally Like A Martyr" Warren Zevon (The hurt gets worse and the heart gets harder) "I Feel Like A Bullet (In The Gun Of Robert Ford)" Elton John/Bernie Taupin | |
| Viva Tubes Going back to 2017 I bought a dozen EL34s & a pair of 6922s from them & there were no issues. It was a telephone order. Based on that experience, I would probably buy from them again, although, more recently, I bought a dozen EL34s from ... | |

| Sad songs- We love them- We need them From back in my days of high school angst, Nazareth's version of "Love Hurts." (Although I don't think it would have an effect on me any longer.) "The Ghost Of Phil Sinclair" by Chip Taylor still evokes an emotional response (of sorts) from me. | |
| Sad songs- We love them- We need them From Lucinda William's "Sweet Old World" CD, the song "Sweet Old World" and also from that DC, "Pineola." I really liked the covers that Emmy Lou did of "Sweet Old World," and also her cover of Steve Earle's "Goodbye." |
