Cary SLP-05 Tube Rolling
DTC: I am running balanced & yes the 3&6 are the inputs. I do not know if you can remove these if running single ended. I purchased the preamp here on Agon from an individual I believe was an electrical engineer & he said the 3 & 6... 
Cary SLP-05 Tube Rolling
I am using a pair of of the Cary Audio 211AE's & before that I had a Cary 120 and the Krells. I thought both the Cary's sounded better then the Krells. 
Do expensive cables/wires REALLY make a difference
You have some good information already but bear in mind that cables are probably the most difficult part of any system to incorporate effectively. There are a lot of very good inexpensive cables available.There are also a lot of expensive cables t... 
Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device?
In my response yesterday I may have sounded a little elitist when I stated that if you amp. preamp or speakers cost less then the Qol you would be better off spending your money elsewhere. I would like to clarify that. If you have an amp.preamp or... 
Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device?
My response is for those who like me saw the ads and curious as to whether or not this is worth trying out. Also kudos to Robert Harley who called it as he heard it knowing there was going to be some controversy to put it milidly.His article convi...

Speaker cables for panels of Martin Logan Sequel
I have tried a lot of cables with my Quest Z's & found the PS Audio bi-wire Statements to be easily the best. 
Best Amps for Martin Logans????
I have a pair of Quest Z's that I am driving with a pair of Krell 250FPB mc's. I am very happy with the sound. ML speakers can present a difficult load for an amplifier so you have to be careful what you use. I have a friend with a pair of SL3's &... 
PS Audio Xstream Statement Speaker Cable
I also put the X-Stream biwires into my system. I was shocked by the improvement. The amount of increased detal was disconcerting.The soundstage was wider & deeper. I actually had turn my REL Stadium II subwoofer down because of the increse in... 
Krell KAV250A upgrade to FPB300?
Six months ago I bit the bullet & traded in my KAV250A for a pair of 250mc mono's. Right out of the box there was a sound improvement but it wasn't until the amps were fully broken in did I feel they were worth the price difference. The sounds...
