| Best Tube Amp under 10K? Hi, Lorne.The Cary SLI-80 is a killer for the price. From the right dealer, it will give you access to the most awesome stockpile of NOS tubes in North America.Price is less than $3,000, and it's an integrated.Regards,March | |
| Cables for Cary SLI80 and Soliloquy 5.0 I've got the Chinese Genelex copies (KT88's), early 50's RCA JAN 6SN7GT's --- and the Siemens 7308's just brought the whole package together. Specifically the results were:KT88's: Gave me more sustained power during heavy transients on both ends o... | |
| Tubes for modulus 3A ? The Russian mil spec 6H23 might be a tube to look at for the subject. Super quiet, good dynamics and not outrageously priced. I got some from ATSI as Dekay mentioned. Can't remember the guy's name at the moment, but they were only $20 each. They c... | |
| Audioquest Diamondbacks -- HELP -- Thanks, guys. As I write this, things have started to mellow a lot. I was concerned there for a while becuase I've never had cables start out sound so freaking bright before. My system is a Cary SLI-80 & CD-303, Nakamichi MB-8 for shuffle play... | |

| is there a great used tube for 1000?? Jolida JD-1000A (100W/ch)Bought it for my father to get him into tubes and it didn't make it past the interior decorator (mom). I was getting ready to start a second system using the Cary SLI-80, so I traded it in to Kevin Deal (one of the most ou... | |

| Big Mcintosh MC1000 pwr amp s? Ljgj, If it's any consolation, I love my MR67. But of course, would be willing to part with it at the right price :) | |
| Amp Suggestions please... In Class A operation the Plinius is good for 50W. As we all know, this will sound like a hell of a lot more than the rating. Admittedly, I have never heard a Marsh amp, but I'm going to go out on a limb anyway and say the flexibility alone makes i... | |
| Amp Suggestions please... Chas, the Plinius can be run in Class A or Class AB by user selection from the front panel. Do either of the others have this option? | |
| best 6dj8 tubes for AR sp9mkII??? Given your speakers, I would say the Ediswan CV2492 is what you're looking for. I've got several pairs running around here. Only wish I had more. SUPER quiet, but not cheap. | |
| Amp Suggestions please... The Plinius is a superior amp, I don't care what the other power ratings are and they won't matter since the speakers are 88db efficient @ 8ohm. Choose a good head unit with a sub-out, you may find yourself longing for the bottom octave sometime d... | |
| Big Mcintosh MC1000 pwr amp s? At the risk of receiving negative ratings (seems like it happens every time you knock what someone else owns,.... petty) I must agree with Avnut. I had a friend who ran a MC500 with VR-6's. The VR's, as you know, were "speaker of the year", "stere... | |
| The best CD Player for the money I can't believe no one has mentioned either the Ah! Tjoeb '99 or the Njoe Tjoeb 4000, both of which are available from Kevin Deal at www.upscaleaudio.com. Compare the reviews by consumers (like me and you) of either of these units to ANY of the ot... | |
| Cary tubes? Don't overlook the the Cary SLI-80. I have owned Mesa, Jolida, VTL and (2) Sonic Frontiers amps. The SLI-80, IMO, is more musical and capable of a more realistic soundstage than any of the others I mention. Guess it depends on how much power you n... |
