| Cary SLI-80HS modifications decooney they are listed as MCap SUPREME EVO SilverGold. | |
| Cary SLI-80HS modifications I took the plunge and picked up a SLI-80HS with kitchen sink upgrades from Cary before the sale ends and right out of the box it sounded fantastic. Came with Psvane KT88's. I don't notice any lack of tube bloom from my old F-1 Edition. Should o... | |
| Cary SLI-80HS modifications A short time ago I spoke with someone on the Cary sales team and they remarked the solid state rectification HS model still has the tube holography and bloom the Signature has. (It would be interesting to find out). They added going with solid s... | |
| Cary SLI-80HS modifications txp1 - I'm wondering the same thing having bought an F-1 edition in 2007 and enjoying it for 4 years. Great amp, I'm thinking about getting another HS model too. Hopefully decooney chimes in. | |
| Will Vincent ST-70 Tube Amp I have one since March of this year and really like it. Will is a perfectionist builder and the sound is excellent. I owned an ST-70 with the VTA driver board prior to this and prefer Will's original version using NOS 7643 driver tubes. Will's i... | |
| Siemens EL 34 decoony, no I have not tried them. I'll probably play it as is for 6 mos. or so before I try different outputs. Yes, I've ready somewhere that the Upscale Audio folks recommend KT77's as an upgrade in EL34 based amps. There's a minty pair of ... | |

| Siemens EL 34 Thanks decooney for all the valuable info. Will and I did discuss his triode version but given my power requirements decided UL would be the better choice. It does get loud here sometimes:) That and I’d heard another ST-70 (Chris Keller’s version ... | |
| Siemens EL 34 Hi decooney I have his ultralinear version and have Tannoy Stirling GR's which are an easy load and are a great combo (rig posted here). 35wpc seems to be plenty. I still crave more of a triode sound like the Cary SLI-80 F-1 I had years ago and ... | |
| Siemens EL 34 decooney I don't own the KT88's I was forwarding some comments as per my 1st sentence...sorry for the confusion. FYI, there is a Quicksilver Audio group on face book and an EE audiophile there who used to work for QS about 30 yrs ago remarked thi... | |
| Siemens EL 34 I'm liking the Tung Sol EL34B's that came with my Will Vincent ST-70 although I have nothing to compare them to - it's my first EL34 amp and I think I'm hooked on the EL34 sound. Now if I could just forget about trying QS Mid-monos and be happy:)... | |
| Siemens EL 34 FYI, there is a Quicksilver Audio group on face book and an EE audiophile there who used to work for QS about 30 yrs ago remarked this about his new KT monos: KT Monos w KT170s is what I’ve been running for the last 5 months and I’m loving the ma... | |
| Siemens EL 34 Try checking with fellow audiogoners pdreher and clio09. clio09 is now RAM Labs and a great guy very knowlegable. | |
| Compact ~20WPC Tube Amp agree with jasonbourne52 seek out a ST-70 properly refurbished. I bought a new custom build recently from retroaudio on US audiomart for peanuts just to have a tube amp to rotate and it's more enjoyable in my system than my previous RM-10. He's ... | |
| Amp pairing with Tannoy Turnberry? Tannoy Stirling GR owner here I just acquired a new custom build Dynaco ST-70 by Chris Keller in NC and it's an amazing piece. I've owned a bunch of tube amps over the years and this is really fantastic and an amazing value. My last tube amp was... |
