| Is there Tannoy Magic / Should I buy a pair of Tannoys as "accessory" speaker? @immatthewj I've had Stirling GR's since 2019 and have no plans to change. In regard to positioning I haven't found them to be finicky at all. They are perfect for my room and I've used everything from Music Reference RM10 Mk2, Atma-Sphere Class... | |

| Final Decision On An Integrated Amp I recommend the Cary SLI-80HS as @pdreher mentioned. I've owned the SLI-80 F-1 and after years away just bought another - it's that good. I've owned the Audio Research vsi55 and the original Cronus Magnum and they're not even close. It's better... | |
| Cary SLI-80 tweaks and improvements? A couple things here as I’ve owned the SLI-80 a couple times both upgraded F-1 varieties. It’s a great amp and IMO will never be confused sound wise with SS and has definitely has that tube magic with the right speakers. Duane, the upgraded volume... | |
| Should we care if a piece of equipment comes from a pet-free, kid-free, smoke-free home? Years ago I bought a nice pair of speaker cables that arrived reeking of tobacco smoke. Being a former smoker years ago who can't stand the smell now it was quite foul. Tried rubbing alcohol wipe down to no avail. Eventually the smell dissipate... | |
| Old Victrola I've owned a Victrola and still have a 1905 Edison w/morning glory horn shown in my virtual system. Here's a great source for parts repairs and units for sale I used to buy needles from. Steel needles need to be replaced after each play or your ... | |
| McIntosh MC275 vs Dynaco ST70 @rankaudio nicely done. I enjoy your youtubes and have a Will Vincent ST-70 myself. Kenny's builds look great and keep up the good work. | |
| Speaker Cables : Moderate priced +1 @kennymacc been using mine for well over a decade occasionally comparing to others w/no plans to change. | |
| Can you touch the tubes? Roger Modjeski (RIP) aka Music Reference, The Authority on tubes said '"yes, it's fine to touch tubes just get the peanut butter off your fingers" | |
| Cary SLI-80HS modifications @txp1 Thanks for the info my unit hasn't sold yet so I may seek some out to fill the cage holes like you did or at least send them to the new owner. FYI, a local friend says the Linlai 6SN7's are really good in his 300sei if and when you decide t... | |
| Speaker cable recommendations @kennymacc +1 on the JPS Super 3's so good I had to buy them twice. | |
| Cary SLI-80HS modifications @txp1 Cool thanks for the info. Looks like Cary used allen head screws like on the side panels according to manual as a kind poster just responded to your other thread about side panels. | |
| Cary SLI-80HS modifications @txp yeah, no doubt. Curious what screws did Cary say work to fill in the cage hole screws and what did you use? It'll be interesting to hear about the side panels as well, enjoy! |
