| "Too much gain"? (Cary SLP05 question) @immatthewj I do but it would be really nice to have a smaller simpler remote. | |
| "Too much gain"? (Cary SLP05 question) Has anyone found an aftermarket simple remote that works with the current Cary SLP 05? Just looking for a remote to handle volume. More function is ok but volume is mandatory. Thanks | |
| Need to learn about Audio Research If class D is a consideration reach out to Alberto Guerra at AGD and Ralph at Atma Sphere. Both very good to work with and more than willing to share their experience and knowledge. I moved away from tubes to AGD Audion with Cary SLP 05 pre. Dri... | |
| Seeking a Tube preamplifier I went from an RP-7 to a Cary SLP 05. Everything got better from my perspective. Sound stage expanded, detail stayed about the same but overall midrange (what I hear) became richer. Over all the sound came alive and became more soulful if that... | |
| Do You Unplug Equipment During Thunderstorms? I do when im home and know it is coming. | |
| Tube Pre/ Class D Amp - Who has done it? I started with Rouge 7 and Bel Cantos m600’s. The sounds stage was poor, midrange was very laid back. Overall not very good. I decided the Bel Cantos were not my cup of tea. So I replaced them with AGD Audions and everything got better except ... | |
| Talk me out of buying Monoblocks and into a stereo amp instead If you are not worried about power, space or cost I would always buy mono blocks. I've been in and out of mono blocks a number of times and always ended up with monos. If you are thinking about it you won't be happy if you dont buy them. Cleane... | |
| Class A\B or D for summer months (vs Class A) I went through the same process with the addition of tube replacement cost and weight. I ended up with AGD Audions. I could not be happier. I did retain my Cary SLP 05 tube preamp. I would consider a used pair of AGD’s or Atmosphere class D amp... | |
| Is it easier to sell mono blocks or stereo amp on the used market? I’ve gone from intergraded, to single amp to mono blocks and back. It think monos will always have a market. I’m back to monos for my “end game” amps. | |
| XLR cable placement I might be crazy but I’ve always bought into; you get the sound relative to your worse component and cable in the chair. Based on that premise I would start at the source, DAC to Pre. I want my Pre to start with the best signal that I can afford ... | |
| Ethernet Check out Wire World cable options. I actually found a used cable that solved my wondering mind. I believe it actually add a little detail and depth. Who knows if true but it eliminated my cable concerns and save some money while retaining a li... | |
| Dac with build-up streamer Look for a used Bricasti M3 with a built in network card. | |
| Who positions their speakers straight ahead (zero tow in) and why. I have Joesph Audio Perspectives and have tried both ways a few times but always end up with no toe in. | |
| Cardas Clear XLR interconnects Call Craig at TheaterMax 732-616-1010. | |
| Long XLR Interconnects Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences and recommendations. @audphile1 I think I am going to go the route you ended up with and clean up the equipment placement between the speakers. What amp stands did you use? When I look at the cost of ... |
