| "Too much gain"? (Cary SLP05 question) Find this an interesting thread as I’m still looking at an SLP-05 as a second preamp. Enjoythemusic dot com published a review of the Rothwells that say they do affect sound quality. Never used them myself but seeing here they seem quite popular. | |
| Backart Labs Rhumba Extreme version 1.4 Linestage Tubed Preamplifier The Quicksilver is akin to the pre the OP is wants to move away from. Enjoy your eggs. | |
| Seeking a Tube preamplifier I’m running a new RP-7 with a Bryston cubed and have no complaints. The Rogue is something special with Amperex Holland 7316s or Radiotechniques. Mullards with the Bryston's bass might be pushing it. | |
| Neutral-ish Speaker Cable @dekay Thanks for remembering that. Yes the Rogue has been running non-stop with 200+ hours already and I have a set of burned-in $$$ Amperex Holland 7316s installed. Heavenly. @jsalerno277 Not familiar with the WyWires, thanks for the heads up. ... | |
| Ever heard Rockpile? I liked the idea of Rockpile more than I liked the actual band. After seeing them live, I’ve had the lasting impression that all their songs kinda sounded the same, and of a time, and now, rather dated. | |
| Most recent concert The Cure, outdoor show, 1993. Unfortunately. I've probably missed a few things since. | |
| Neutral-ish Speaker Cable @fastfreight I’ve read a lot about KS but had the impression the lower-mid and bottom end presence might be a bit more than I want, it reminded me of the term "thick", not in a bad way like congested, but just the extra presence. I might be wrong ... | |
| Neutral-ish Speaker Cable @soix No problem spending $3-5k on speaker, interconnects $1-1.5k each, but not fixed. Running balanced DAC to pre, pre to amp. RCA possible. Digital system of CD transport, streamer, DDC and external clock with higher end Audioquest coax, Tubulus... | |
| Traded Off my SLP-05 I've been thinking about picking up the Cary. Can I ask what about the PSA you preferred over the Cary? Good things I've read about the Cary- good "slam" if that's what you need, Not so good things I've heard- too much gain, keeping the volume k... | |
| Akiko Audio Loudspeaker Improvers I just ordered a set from Jaguar after reading the good reviews. | |
| New Rogue RP-7 Preamp @charlie123 If you're still interested, I've had the RP-7 warming up for a few days. Running the stock tubes. I think the Rogue trounces the LS17SE in most areas. Detail, bass, clarity, dynamics are all very good. Hearing much deeper into the musi... | |
| Send in the Clowns @laoman then why waste your and our time? | |
| Best $10-15K bookshelf speaker? Sopra 1 the best audio purchase I’ve made B&W = dry, unnatural balance Buchard = does not play with the big boys Persona B = they’re in my closet KEF = meh Dynaudio = dry lifeless Vimberg = matched or beaten by Sopra | |

| Preamplifier options - seeking help to determine which one Honestly I wish you luck but your theoretical approach to component selection seems more about buying into the marketing hype of a company most of us have never heard of than actual user experience or sound. Their website is heavy on that but real... |
