| 12ax7 12AU7 EL34 / KT 88/ 6550 upgrades for PL2 I have had the Amp (Cary120S Mk2) back from Cary for about three weeks now. The improvements are clearly audible and very pleasant. My impressions so far would be that the upper end is a tad bit leaner (by no means dry) with a tremendous amount of... | |
| 12ax7 12AU7 EL34 / KT 88/ 6550 upgrades for PL2 I just purchased 2 matched sets of the Psvane 12AU7s from Grant Fidelity and got them installed today in my Cary SLP 03. My Cary 120S amp will be delivered Monday from Cary. I sent it in to get the MK 2 revision. It has all Shuangung Treasures in ... | |
| Who's spent time with the Cary CAD 120 S amp? I purchased one in Jan 2010, listened to it for four months, felt it needed re-tubing (I was not quite as disappointed as you). I purchased 4 cv181z Shuguang Black Treasure tubes to replace the EH 6sn7 driver and input tubes and 8 Shuguang kt88 Bl... | |
| Shuguang Treasure tubes.... I purchased 8 KT88's and 4 CV181Z's, all Shuguang Black Treasure grade A tubes, from Grant Fidelity about two weeks ago for my Cary 120S amp. The CV181Z's replaced the EH 6SN7 driver and input tubes. The KT88's replaced EH output tubes. I drive th... | |

| Plinius SA-250 or Mark Levinson/Krell/Mc I think the ? should be, Is the Krell or ML in the same league as the big Plinius. I've heard some awesome Demo'sbefore but never anything like the Plinius and Pipedreamsdemo at the 2001 CES . The SA250's and CD LAD (preamp) were the most transpar... | |
| Best 2 Channel Amp under 5k Plinius SA 100 MK 3, A real steal at $4500 List price. | |
| Classe Cam 350, Bryston 7bs or Sim W5 You should consider Plinius. I understand they (TransparentAudio) the importers of the Plinius line will be using the3.6R Maggies in there future demos instead of the PipeDreams. I talked to the importers at the CES and they said the combo (Pliniu... | |

| Acoustic Research (new AR-1) any good ? Sonicbob, These are superb sounding speakers. I have lived with a pair for about a year now and love them. These speakers are capable of throwing a huge, well defined soundstage with the proper electronics. I use a Plinius 8150 integerated amp and... |
