| Rectifier Tubes 5AR4 : New production vs NOS Now I have not heard all 5ar4 tubes, but when I switched from stock rectifiers to the Philips miniwatt, it was night and day. Many have agreed also.This was on the Cary SLP-05 preamp. | |
| Class A vs. AB vs. D... can you hear a difference? Yes. Within the same amp, you can tell the difference between A and A/B. Just listen to a Plinius. | |
| Suggestions? Tubed linestage pre-amp?? Cary 98. | |
| Looking for Help - LS27 or SLP-05 Oh dude... vgrubb... you gotta get a philips mini watt for the rectifier... it is amazing. | |
| Plinus vs. Burmester amps The difference in sound of a plinius running ab vs a is quite significant. | |
| Plinus vs. Burmester amps I forget the actual topology reason for the plinius to sound a bit like tubes. I remember there was a plinius interview somewhere that I had read.In my experience, plinius sa amps run well with a certain tube preamp from Cary... The slp-05. It was... | |
| Looking for Help - LS27 or SLP-05 SLP-05 is the preamp of choice for me. | |
| Plinus vs. Burmester amps There is no 1 hour warn up time for a plinius sa amp. With my Martin Logan summits in the last, 10 seconds on class a and you can tell a big difference. Was it hot? Yeah but not too hot to touch. Plus you can leave it in a/b.And lastly, sa-103 has... | |
| Focal Sacala Utopia vs B&W 800D Would be a good battle. Never heard the two side by side and probably never will. I enjoyed the 800 Diamonds throughout my auditions... | |
| Cary 805 vs 211 amp Yeah.. either I go full tubes from SLP-05 down to 211 amps.... or perhaps I stick with a hybrid system and I've had good experience with the Cary 05 paired with a Plinius SA-102 in the past on some martin logan Summits. So this time, perhaps somet... | |
| 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. |
