| Joule Electra LA150 MkII or Lamm LL2 Deluxe? Mitch,I'd highly recommend you give the Cary SLP-05 a try, especially with your Cary amps.Good luck with the search!Jim | |
| amplifier needs Wire them in series and you will be fine. | |
| Pre of three? I'm a big fan of the SLP-98. | |
| Do all Class D amps lack soundstage depth? My NuForces throw whatever soundstage my preamp generates... which lately is massive! :) | |
| Hi End Pre-Amp shoot out in central jersey? 05-18-09: HomosapienHi, Ron!I live in Basking Ridge, and would like to take a part of the event, but I think that my Cary SLP-05 is not on the level you are interested in.Thank you.Boris.I think you may be surprised at how the SLP-05 does with thi... | |
| Pre with phono to mate with Nuforce? Cary SLP 98P. | |
| What's wrong? Nuforce/Capri no better than Sunfire I certainly agree that the NuForce amps are very transparent; the most transparent that I have ever heard in fact. In my opinion its a strength rather then a weakness however.Find a preamp that you like and the Ref 9s will pass its sound. I've nev... | |
| Conrad Johnson vs Audio Research vs BAT vs Cary MrtennisFrom reading many of your replies I think that you will really enjoy the SLP98. Let us know if you get a chance to audition one. I just put new tubes in mine and am thrilled... I thought it sounded great with the old tubes!It is rolled off... | |

| Conrad Johnson vs Audio Research vs BAT vs Cary Imagine me finding Keith in here! :)I've owned an ARC LS26 (the 17s big brother) as well as the 98 (which was recommended to me by Keith) and enjoyed both. The ARC and Cary are at polar opposite ends of the tubed preamp spectrum. The ARC leans dry... | |
| What's wrong? Nuforce/Capri no better than Sunfire The NuForces really do need a tubed pre IMO. I'm using a Cary SLP-98 and really, enjoy this combo.Prior was an ARC LS26 which was also very good but I prefer the additional tube character the Cary brings. | |
| High Current Monoblocks I used NuForce REF 9 V2 SE's with an ARC LS26 with outstanding results. They have plenty of muscle for my very demanding Aerial 10T's and are as transparent an amp as I've ever heard, by a wide margin. I would give them an audition. | |
| new reference in the german Stereo: Einsten the .. The Germans always make great stuff - just look at the shamwow. | |
| Linn Unidisk 1.1 vs Meridian G98AH for video+CDs I owned a 1.1 and listed to the G98 several times. If you like the Ikemi/Linn sound go for the 1.1. The video performance is excellent on both units but if you are after the Linn sound you won't find it with the Meridian.The 1.1 is the most analog... | |
