| Best Tube Based Options For B&W 803S Speakers Loaned my brother my Cary SLP-05 tube preamp hooked to his SS musical fidelity amp... Got rid of any remaining sibilance on his. 804 Diamonds... Fantastic sound. | |
| Seeking more 3d imaging, deeper/wider soundstage 1. Treat the room. You're willing to buy expensive (relatively) component but cheapen out on foam. Go to ATS online and buy some absorption panels for first reflection points along sides and front and back and call it a day.2. Tube pre would help. | |
| question to Plinius Amp owner Old thread, I know. But I could (and others who listened) detect the difference that class A made on my legacy (old, retired, sold) Martin Logan Summits over class a/b. What I always remembered was that in class a, the voices/imaging were tighter ... | |
| 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. | |

| Looking to re-build my system.... Cary SLP 05 Just purchased the SLP 05.... is there any difference between the original and the newer versions? I noticed the front faceplate is a little different. | |
| CARY CAD 211 FE PeterWhy did you upgrade from the 211? | |
| Cary SLP 03 SLP98 or 98 F1 does not compare well against the 05. Never heard the 03. | |
| Best Center Channel to Pair with B&W 803D2 Perhaps the BW CM series. It doesn't have the protruding tweeter enclosure but still has the tweeter enclosure built in. It doesn't have the same tweeter material, but it will probably be the closest you get. | |
| which tube preamp I had a great experience with the SLP05. | |
| Whole house audio I was thinking of Sonos.... seems like I can just install the speakers in the locations I want in the house, run the speaker wires to a central closet location and then build up from there. Start w/ 1 Sonos Connect Amp and then build up. The other... | |
| Whole house audio Buconero,Not looking to make this an audiophile system - I just wanted to see if there were recommendations on a server/amplication system that would do whole house audio. | |
| David Wilson must be a little annoyed... Looking at all this... it's a very costly endeavor. I'm saving up for some used Sashas.. but I've been in this hobby long enough to know that something else is around the corner and that will be proclaimed better and cooler and fancier and more so... |
