| Terminate This: Bare Wire vs Connectors I'd use some type of connectors so they stay put. BTW Rhodium is $9,850 per ounce today, and was only $4,000 per ounce 2 years ago! It is usually mixed 80% platinum 20% Rhodium so you will not have problems with oxidation. | |

| 6SN7 based Pre-Amplifier Get the Cary SLP98P !! EBAY customer service may agree. 1-800-717-3229 | |
| 6SN7 based Pre-Amplifier Got a Cary SLP98P in Feb 08. then got a CaryV12R amp 2 weeks later. Sounds fantastic. I may go for a pair of Gallo 3.1's to replace Krause Cinema Extremes. Anyone ever heard these? | |

| Cary Six Pac vs. sli-80 Get a CaryV12R. I replaced a McIntosh 7270 270 wpc power amp with one and I only need the 50 watts in triode mode. I don't really use the 100 watt ultra linear mode. As far as distortion forgiveness, 50 to 100 watts in a tube amp is about equal to... | |

| Cary SLP-98 preamp with Mcintosh Amp I bought a new SLP98P in Feb. replacing a C-1 Carver. I hooked it up to a McIntosh 7270 amp and it sounded great. I sold the McIntosh amp (had it 17 years) and bought a Primo Cary V12R amp. Get one if you can. It's a perfect combo and the sound is... | |
| Mark Levinson Nr32 compares to ......... If you sell the 32 you may want to try a Cary SLP98P or (L). You'll have a fantastic sounding stereo even if you use a (good) ss amp. Use the money left over for gas. | |
| Klipsch forte II what league are they in? Listen to your ears. IMHO the Quartets sound even better. I have a pair in mint condition that I rarely use but do not want to get rid of. Quartets, Forte, Chorus, are all great speakers. I used a 7270 McIntosh SS Amp hooked to a C-1 Carver Pre, a... | |
| Do you pull A/C plugs during thunder storms? I used to keep a 7270 McIntosh power amp unplugged for 5 months at a time if I was not using my stereo. I now have a Cary V-12R tube amp and a Cary SLP98P tube preamp. I live in Pinellas County FL. Lightning capital of the Northern Hemisphere. YES... | |

| Tube Rolling In Audio Research Phono Preamp 5 9's gave you away Rodman. I won't tell anyone where you're hiding your gold. | |
| Tube Rolling In Audio Research Phono Preamp Rodman99999 is absolutely right! Make sure you have some spare tubes so you can wait till the price goes down on the new and IMPROVED ones, and have GOLD put away for when the dollar no longer buys anything good. POLK432 | |
| Gallo Reference 3.1 questions... I heard the 3.1's and I may get a pair. I do not think you have to get the amp. You could always get a sub and hook it up at less cost. You would need to get the correct Gallo amp to go with the speakers though. Unless you are hell bent on thumpin... |
