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... | |
Traded Off my SLP-05 Agree! Cable change and or xover parts change was next on the list. | |
Traded Off my SLP-05 @ozzy Exactly! With Nautilus 801 the Cary helped tame that just perfect. | |
Traded Off my SLP-05 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 ... | |
Traded Off my SLP-05 @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... | |
Traded Off my SLP-05 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... | |
Traded Off my SLP-05 @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... | |
Traded Off my SLP-05 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... | |
Traded Off my SLP-05 Ok got it! Ty | |
Traded Off my SLP-05 @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? |
