Ethernet vs 5G Streamer Tech Considerations for Sound Quality
The Cary unit has a R2R DAC in it that I am using so no digital cables needed. Thanks for info and understanding the question. Way more than enough capacity so seems like 5G would be preferable. I am  looking for technical reasons why ethernet wou... 
Ethernet vs 5G Streamer Tech Considerations for Sound Quality
Yes unit has antenna and signal is excellent. So you are saying antenna may pick up extraneous noise around the frequency it is designed for...definitely possible..although I am in a fairly uncongested area. Wonder how noise would compare with cab... 
New Cary DMS 700
I have been running the unit continuously since Friday ~40 hours. Sounded excellent right out of the box but continuing to improve. Streaming Tidal through 5G and using my flac files on ssd. I have excellent 5G reception. This piece does so many t...

Is the Cary SLP-05 still relavant?
Thanks for power off thoughts. I am planning on trying some Sylvania 7n7’s with adapter if they ever show up. I am probably at about 100 hours now.analoguehaven...I am not a preamp expert, lots of opinions here and in the press. If you are looking... 
New Cary DMS 700
Congrats on the upgrade. I am going start at 2.0 V when mine arrives tomorrow as my pre has a lot of gain already. Will provide additional thoughts once I break in. Looking forward to the fire up of the 700. It should be a significant upgrade for ... 
Is the Cary SLP-05 still relavant?
Update: I put the -10dB Rockwell attenuators in and that worked great. Volume knob now between 10 and 12 o’clock on most listening and SLP-05 balance set at 100%.I still haven’t tried any other tubes but may look at that rectifier tube @avanti. My...

My ssd’s are 1 TB so looks like that is no problem.My thinking on the 5G is that if I have no ethernet cables etc that there is no way to introduce additional noise (and $ to me upgrading everything). My 5G router from verizon gives me north of 10...

Excellent thread and info. Greatly appreciated but now you guys finally convinced me to pull the plug on the 700, ordered on today.Yippee....after reading all the potential ethernet upgrades I guess it is silly to ask but I will anyway.....has any... 
Is the Cary SLP-05 still relavant?
After spending a week with 5he SLP-05 I can enthusiastically say relevance is not age or recent press review dependent. Great designs are timeless unless they are obsoleted by technological breakthrough and I don’t believe 5hat has happened with p... 
Is the Cary SLP-05 still relavant?
I think that I answered that by looking into the rockwell’s.. gives a much better range of volume control not such large steps. I will try to track some down here without paying excessive shipping from uk. Thanks again. 
Is the Cary SLP-05 still relavant?
Excellent test pilot thanks. So is running the slp-05 volume pot between 20-35% not ideal and result in additional noise or degradation etc? The combo is sounding pretty great so far although from startupmy voltage meter has been showing 250 not 2... 
Is the Cary SLP-05 still relavant?
Hi all,i just got a new slp-05 for to audition. After a few hours of break in it sounds very pleasing so far. I am running balanced and the high gain does limit me to about 35% on the volume knob for reasonable listening levels. Does this result i...

New Cary DMS 700
So has anyone got the 700 hooked up and running yet?I am in the same boat as many, looking at the T2  and the 700. Cary is really running behind as I ordered a slp-05 preamp to audition on 12/23 and still nothing at the door. Currently running Mag...
