| Looking for warm tube preamp (should pair well with Pass power amp), budget $6000 I honestly do love the SLP05, but I don’t feel the same warmth Probably why they still make the SLP98. I got mine from Kevin Deal with the F1 modifications. I don't think I'll ever sell it. I like it with my AES Sic-Pacs and my Quicksilver Mono... | |
| Amp Upgrade Path? what would you suggest to head into the mono block world? I don't think that is where you should go at this point. There are many ways to go but I would start you with a pair of Triangle AUSTRALE EZ. Maybe do a little tube rolling on your Rogue... | |
| Amp Upgrade Path? Best is: Mono blocks, Stereo power amp and preamp, Integraded, in that order. I'm back to thinking speakers and amps. Pick your loudspeakers first then get enough power to drive them. What loudspeakers do you have now? | |
| Looking for warm tube preamp (should pair well with Pass power amp), budget $6000 LOL! Nothing little about the SLP 05. Same for the SLP-98. It's only little if you don't count the "loaf of bread" power supply. | |
| Will I benefit from a subwoofer with 20Hz speakers? Here is a photo of my measurements... Well to answer your question. Yes you could live without a sub on that system. You have most everything covered. That is not to say there is not more to get but you would not be missing much. | |
| How can I tell if I am overdriving the amp or the speakers? start sounding sharp and annoying. That is your first warning. But you really should not be playing that loud.

| If it does not work, read the manual When all else fails, read the manual! As an engineer, that is my moto. When everything I've done fails, I read the manual. | |
| Klipsch Forte IV ... what amp ? That is an amp that I have been considering , except for the biasing thing . I am not able to do that . Learning to bias an amp (at least in this case) is VERY easy. You just need a cheap multi meter and a small screw driver. I'm no electrical ... | |
| Tube amp question best performance and sound quality will be had with the EL34 or 6550 tubes, that no extra wattage will be achieved since the transformers are the limiting factor. As I suspected. I biased them at 50mv per the manufacturer spec. I slowly rais... | |
| I miss my Loudness Button and Tone Controls.... Yes, the loudness and tone controls us older folks used in the 70s were crappy circuits with crappy parts. The SAE Parametric Equalizer in the early seventies was considered to be a very high end piece of audio gear. I used it for a while unti... | |
| Looking for warm tube preamp (should pair well with Pass power amp), budget $6000 Cary SLP-98 or SLP-05. SLP stands for Sweet Little Preamp. | |
| Schitt freya preamp hum- how do I get rid of this? It could be a bad tube, that preamp should be very quiet. | |
