| Cary SLI-80HS modifications My unit decided to quit working after just a few hours:( Sent it back to Cary and it turned out to be a connection came loose on a Solen cap lead. Cary did a great job quickly on the short trip from FL to NC and I have the unit back in a sealed ... | |
| RIP Jimmy Buffett Otis Gibbs has a really good youtube video that just came out on Jimmy by one of his close musician friends from the old days. My best memory of him is Orange Bowl Miami around 1980 with Dave Mason....can’t remember who opened for who but what a g... | |

| Cary SLI-80HS modifications Enjoy your new amps fellas! | |
| Cary SLI-80HS modifications @txp1 Yes, I did power up the 1st time w/the bias plug in and once it was warmed up it was a little high just under 80mA so I backed off each channel to 73. Could have been the line voltage variation from Cary's bench and my home. | |
| 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... |
