| Replacing The Stock EH 6SN7 Tubes For Cary SLP 05 Thanks Jtran. Wow, those are expensive tubes. | |
| Replacing The Stock EH 6SN7 Tubes For Cary SLP 05 Jtran - there is no Psvane CV181 (6SN7). Do you mean the Shuguang Treasure 6SN7? | |
| Replacing The Stock EH 6SN7 Tubes For Cary SLP 05 I have read elsewhere that the Suguang Treasure CV181 tubes don't physically fit into the Cary SLP-05. Can someone (Jtran?) confirm if these tubes actually fit through the chassis? | |
| Which amp for Cary SLP 05 I have excellent results pairing my SLP-05 with a pair of Manley Snapper monoblocks (100 w/ch). Works very well with my Vandy 3A Sigs. | |
| My Final Choices For New Amp - Need Your Help Let me throw a change-up here. You can get a used pair of Manley Snapper monoblocks with 100 watts/channel of beautiful EL-34 output for well under your budget amount. You'll have more than enough power in your small room with your speakers and yo... | |
| CV181-z's Black Treasures in Cary SLP-05? Deutsch - I was thinking about these tubes for my SLP-05 when I need replacements. Thanks for being the guinea pig and trying them - I would not have thought that they wouldn't fit through the holes in the case. You've savd me some future money. | |
| Matching an amp to the Vandersteen 3a signatures I'm running my 3A Sigs with Manley Snapper monoblocks - quite excellent! Way more than enough power in my small room. The Snappers can be had used for ~$2200/pair. My preamp is a Cary SLP-05 - sublime (but outside of your stated price tag). | |
| Are there any albums you consider perfect? I haven't read through this thread so this one may already have been mentioned: Close to the Edge by Yes is the best example I can think of as a "perfect" album. Phenomenal playing/musciainship and singing, complex arrangements, excellent composit... | |
| Shostakovich string quartets recommendation My current favorite complete recording is the Mandelring Quartet on Audite (SACD). The playing is amazing, the sonics outstanding. The Mandelring play these quartets so that the music shines through. They are humane and lovely interpretations that... | |
| Marantz SA-11S1 Well, I've had the SA-11S2 player for a few years now. The S2 (as you probably know) shares a transport with the top-of-the-line SA-7S1 player so it is a step up from the 11S1. This player replaced a Cary 306 in my system at a big cost savings. Th... | |
| Vandersteen 2C vs. Klipsch Cornwall The Vandy will be better (i.e. more natural sounding) in every sense except senitivity - the Klipsch is VERY sensitive (102 dB/watt) and can use flea-powered amps. The Vandy needs power depending on your room size. Vandy's are time and phase coher... | |
| 60 watt Rogue Tubes for Vandersteen 3A Signatures Unsound - power specs for amps are developed under static conditions. Music, however, is dynamic and that is where the difference between SS and tubes becomes evident. In my experience, tube amps deliver more dynamic power and hence sound more pow... | |
| 60 watt Rogue Tubes for Vandersteen 3A Signatures I power my 3A Sigs with Vincent ST-800 monoblocks which are a tubed/ss hybrid with 200 w/ch. This works really well. My rule of thumb - tubed power will sound like SS power of twice the watts. So, the 60 tubed watts will sound like 120 watts ss. I... | |
| Pre and power amp for Vandersteen 3A Signature? I use a Cary SLP-05 preamp feeding Vincent ST-8 hybrid monoblocks with my Vandy 3A Sigs. The Cary is a fantastic tubed pre and the Vincent is a German-designed, Chinese-made tube/SS hybrid design pushing 200 w/ch. The combination is wonderfully li... | |
| Upgrade from Spendor SP 1/2, what's next? Don't know if the OP is still looking but I had the Spendor 1/2E's in my system for about 4 years and they are excellent speakers with really only one weakness - they don't do the bottom octave. Since I listen to classical music (lots of orchestra... |
