| Viva Tubes Bought matched octet of PS Vane 6sn7 tennis balls. Tested them upon arrival. All good. I also got kt120’s without issues. Never a problem. | |
| I’ve got the upgrade itch I have a Cary SLP-05. Love it. It has eight 6SN7 tubes. Two just for headphone out so they sound great. You can buy it direct with a 30 day audition. It is end game preamp. https://carydirect.com/shop-now/slp-05.html | |
| Chime in if you bought a second table that cost a fraction of your main table. I also went backwards. I have two separate systems. I have a "surround" system with a Denon AVR, totally separate amps and a conglomeration of speakers. My TT is a Marantz TT-15s1 and Clearaudio Virtuoso cartridge it came with. My reference syste... | |
| Phono Stage Amp I have the SLP 05 with two Primaluna Dialogue 7 monoblocks. I use speakers with powered bass, GoldenEar Triton Reference. No power problem. You could get more amps and biwire your speakers. | |
| Is the Cary SLP-05 still relavant? Had my SLP-05 for 2 years. Bought it with all the upgrades because I knew I would eventually make the changes. It came with Electro-Harmonix tubes that are considered average. I rolled in Psvane 6sn7-se "tennis balls". Wow, it sounds great. Commen... | |

| Upgrade path question with $2k to spend I think you're right. A better TT and cart would make a huge impact. For under $2,000. I love the Marantz TT-15. It's a great table made by Clearaudio and comes with a Clearaudio Virtuoso v2 cartridge. It sells for $1,700. If you go to buy the car... | |
| Your thoughts on my quest for new speakers I have a pair of GoldenEar Triton Reference speakers. Feed them with Cary SLP-05 preamp and Primaluna Dialogue 7 monoblocks. The Primaluna’s put out 75 wpc. It’s more than enough with the Tritons. They have built-in 1800 watt rms amps for the thre... | |
| Cary Audio SLP-05 First Impression I love my SLP-05. I had a Parasound JC-2 that lacked that certain something. I looked at Cary and actually conversed with Billy Wright, the owner. Ended up with the SLP-05 with all of the upgrades. The Carydirect pricing with a nice trade in value... | |
| Solid State Phono Stages For $2,200. the Musical Fidelity M6x Vinyl is a fine phono pre. Balanced, adjustable to ANY cartridge. Sounds fantastic. I am running a VPI Classic with a Sumiko Pearwood. Everyone that hears it thinks it's great. https://upscaleaudio.com/prod... | |
| Improving Comcast modem signal OMG, Keep bitching about Comcast and Xfinity. I live in the real boondocks. only internet is satellite. Hughesnet has to be the worst. I run out of "fast" internet in 2 weeks. Paying $190. per month for internet only. Dish network is another $160.... | |
| Dunlavy SC IV Speaker- Any Good??? I have a pair of SC V's as the front speakers on my surround system. At 7'4" tall and 340 lbs. they make my 74" tv look small. I wish I could post a pic. John Dunlavy was an actual rocket scientist. He was responsible for the communications for N... | |
