| Looking for 5AR4 rectifier tube most like solid state . . . I just thought of a similar thread (questions about 5AR4 for a SLP05) a while back ago. It may or may not be helpful to you, so I'll post a link to the discussion: 5AR4 for Cary SLP05 thread | |
| speakers and cables @grizzly: any luck with experimenting with placement? | |
| Where Do I Go from Here? I sometimes question the sanity of that I can relate to that. | |
| Looking for 5AR4 rectifier tube most like solid state I've had a SLP05 for a few years now (at least three, if I remember correctly) with the Ultimate Upgrade, and I love the sound of mine. I'd go so far to say as it may have been the most significant upgrade I ever made. Unlike you, I am not findi... | |
| Recommend me a tube integrated amplifier Someone always answered the phone when I needed to speak to someone. That is always worth considering. | |
| Recommend me a tube integrated amplifier I echo the Cary SLI-100 option. The presentation is very well rounded, and there's lots of power to spare. I just got another email today from Cary Direct advertising the SLI 100. SLI 100 | |
| Have you noticed as your system improves? My short answer is that I used to listen a lot louder than I do now. (Kind of similar to you, I put my system into mothballs back in 2010 and brought it back out in late 2017. Since then I have upgraded to better pieces of gear, so I do not know... | |
| speakers and cables . . . @grislybutter , after I posted that last post, I got to wondering which speaker I was thinking of. I did some googles and now I am pretty sure it was actually the B&W 801 Matrix. Not that it has any relevance to this thread, here is a pi... | |
| Recommend me a tube integrated amplifier Someone mention in a earlier post Crutchfield will let you try it for 60 days if you don't like the sound return it. Hopefully they carry something you would be interested in. Cary Direct and Music Direct also have an audition period. MD's i... | |
| Heavy difficult to move speakers- how do you deal? Hire movers. | |
| speakers and cables OOPS! Ha ha, nobody ever hired me for my brains. That might work. I remember way back when I went to look at those B&W 805s, they had a three way B&W speaker at the show room also (I cannot remember if it ws the 802 or the 804 or what),... | |
| HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR SYSTEM IN LESS THAN 30 SECONDS That batch of Dire Straits SACDs that MFSL put out do sound pretty good; and although Love Over Gold had pretty much blown me away for quite a while, I am now back to thinking that Dire Straits (the self titled) has the better sound; but with al... | |
| Recommend me a tube integrated amplifier Cary Direct sends me periodic emails and in the one I just got today I see the SLI 100 is marked down from $6495 to $3897. I believe at that price point they offer free shipping, and I also believe they have an audition period (I think either 30 o... | |
| speakers and cables @grislybutter , I've continued to follow the saga, and my thoughts are, at the moment, that stacking the subs is not going to be the answer that you are looking for. | |
| speakers and cables I would have been inclined to live in the camp that wouldn’t try to integrate subs with good full range speakers that were capable of getting down into the low frequencies. I understand. I guess the long story short, if I never tried, I would ... |
