| Disagreements and Conflicts between Audiophiles have we lost our brotherhood and maturity? Well, you already have someone on this thread referring to others as "mentally unstable," so I guess what else would you expect but conflict and disagreement? | |

| Cary SLP 98 users, past and present, are there any left? It seems very odd to me that Cary would make a preamp this way but the manual clearly states that you have to wire your speakers the reverse of normal. @billpete , a few years ago (I've lost track) before I bought my '05 I saw a '98 listed on... | |
| Cary SLP 98 users, past and present, are there any left? @decooney , well, if I thought I was confused before I read through that thread, there is no doubt I am confused now! LOL! I'll try it again in the morning when I am "fresh", or as fresh as I ever am these days. | |
| Cary SLP 98 users, past and present, are there any left? Wouldn't my system sound terrible if I have the speakers wired out of phase? @billpete , even though you addressed this to @decooney, I'll quickly butt in to say that if BOTH speakers were hooked up red to black they would not be out of phase w... | |
| Cary SLP 98 users, past and present, are there any left? Thanks. I have read through this on Cary Direct several times. It isn't terribly thorough. No, @billpete , the Cary manuals are not well detailed when it comes to tech info, but I am thinking that you will be hard pressed to find much else avai... | |
| Cary SLP 98 users, past and present, are there any left? . . . this should be a download for the manual on yours: https://www.caryaudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/SLP-98_manual.pdf I believe yours is the SLP-98 with the 'P' suffix? | |
| Cary SLP 98 users, past and present, are there any left? I do not have a book on this preamp but will try to find one sooner or later. @billpete , if you go to Cary Direct’s site, you may be able to find a manual to download. It might take some screwing around and navigating if they are not showing a... | |
| Cary SLP 98 users, past and present, are there any left? So far, I notice a little bit of graininess at the high end at times when things can become shrill. I mostly attribute this to new crappy tubes but time will tell. Overall, I’m very pleased. . . . my own experience with my preamp probably is no... | |
| Cary SLP 98 users, past and present, are there any left? I am not sure what went wrong with the link I pasted, but since it is too late to edit, I’ll try to paste it again: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/too-much-gain-cary-slp05-question?highlight=cary%2Bslp-05%2Btoo%2Bmuch%2Bgain Anyway, @bil... | |
| Speakers sound too bright. @rwalsh07 , I am about as low tech as it gets when it comes to apps and such, but it sounds as if your app is telling you that the speakers are out of phase with each other. But I could be wrong about that, as I am not by any means an audio or el... | |
| Cary SLP 98 users, past and present, are there any left? Where do you normally have your separate channel volume controls? @billpete , as far as the setting of your L and R input level knobs as related to the setting of your volume knob, I once started a thread about all the gain I have with my SL... | |

| If anyone is still looking for a SLP-98 It’s not that you’re drawing a lot of current tube wise. It’s the turn-on surge to charge the capacitors. The more capacitors, the bigger, the surge, and the more the rectifiers see a short initially at turn on. Thanks, @harpo75 , and that w... | |
| Speakers sound too bright. something interesting last night, I checked the polarity last night and my left speaker was positive and the right was negative. Everything was plugged in color coordinated between the amp and speakers. OP, I am not sure I understand what you a... |
