Traded Off my SLP-05
@ozzy  What was the best pre/amp combo that you heard with your Andra II's? I'm curious to hear the possibilities. I'm about 2 weeks in with the BHK and yeah it's different. More open and detailed but also not as liquid as the SLP. It's definite...

Agree! Cable change and or xover parts change was next on the list.

@ozzy Exactly! With Nautilus 801 the Cary helped tame that just perfect.

Ha, funny that you ask about the cables. I do feel that is my next step. Been running inexpensive Supra tinned XLR cables for years but used to have Kimber Hero a few years back as well. I’m curious where my next cable should be. I’d like to jump ...

@decooney  Ok, so the previous 2 SLP05's where with my old speakers before the Andra II, which were the Nautilus 801. With that said, the 801 was bolder and brighter sounding on the top end, which I "feel" that the SLP05 was a great match. Now, t...

Yeah I can’t wait to get it installed! I’m pacing the floors as we speak... I read on the PSA forums that I can run the 6SN7 variant with the correct adapter. That might get interesting with the stock I have on hand plus what I want to buy from A...

@lwin  Agree, The SLP-05 is a very good preamp and will always have a place in my heart. But it just always needed a little more. Love the build and looks quality way more than many other preamp's. I just need (want) a little more openness and fa...

I must confess that I’ve had 3 Cary SLP-05 and I’ve tried many tubes and the ultimate upgrade version and I always felt it was lacking something. Tube list that I tried listed below. Melz 1578 Sylvania VT-231 & 6SN7W Sophia Blue Glass 6SNGT...

@lwin  I believe I read your other post about this and that was part of my decision to make the switch. Curious, which Tele's you went with, 12v or 6v which series? I was thinking SR Pink or Beeswax M2 fuse as well. I'm sure the SR Master is a ga... 
Any regrets in selling gear?
Yep for sure regret selling my mint pair of Plinius SA-102 amps and my Ultimate upgraded Cary SLP-05. I'm still crying over this  
DAC shopping - Trying to sift through the Hype. Can I trust the reviews these days ??
@bunkertoy I'm with some of the others on this topic. I've been down the "Dac of the month" club and have heard a lot of them in my setup. Depending on your system house sound you gotta match what is needed or not needed for that matter. I'll gi... 
Issue with Krell KSA-250
OP, very common issue with this series of amps. My buddy had the kinda rare KSA-250s and he had it repaired for the same issue like 3-4 times in a 10yr period. You could look at George Meyer but they may be backed up as well - https://www.georgeme... 
Streamer/DAC combinations
Lumin gets my vote. It's great place to start and maybe end. If you are a Roon user then setup the features you life inside the Lumin app then flip it over to setup in Roon Only mode then sit back and enjoy. The T2/T3 or D2/D3 is a wonderful spot ... 
Cary SLP-98L DC or Cap Upgrade details
If anyone minds, could you guys please post a picture of the F1 upgraded version and a "Direct Coupled" version if you have one. Maybe looking inside will help a little bit?
