| Cary 805 vs 211 amp Spoke to cary and I sent them the graph above - they said the 211 has 4ohm taps and should be ok. | |
| Looking to re-build my system.... Cary SLP 05 Right now I'm at full eh tubes up top. Someone offered me the nos Philips miniwatt metal base for $275. So I'll take that and I going to have a great rectifier tube.Someone offered two popes tubes for $ 375... Deal or no? | |
| question to Plinius Amp owner Caveat to my statement above... Could hardly tell with less responsive speakers like sonus faber Cremona 1... Could not tell.But on the summits.... Nearly instant I could tall we were in class a. I'd get up and turn the switch then sat down . As I... | |
| Cary 805 vs 211 amp I mean people have run the 805AE into some Martin Logan summits and those have terrible impedence graphs... If any of the more knowledgeable members can compare the two and see if the impendece curve of the BW 800 diamonds to be terrible. | |
| Cary 805 vs 211 amp Would the 211 be ok Marty? Cary said it should be a great match. | |

| tube vs SS preamp Tube preamp and SS amp is one way to go about it..I have not yet done tube amps... if a tube fails - does the speaker generally go with it as well? | |
| Looking to re-build my system.... Cary SLP 05 Yeah I've owned the 05 in the past and I agree... The Philips miniwatt tube was a great improvement. I've rolled some sylvanias into it and it was a good moveTowards the sound I liked. | |
| tube vs SS preamp Tried both several times and I'm going back to the Cary 05 tube pre. Just can't live without tubes. | |
| Good SS amp for Cary SLP98? I've used it with a Plinius SA-102 with great results. | |
