| Difference: Cary SLI80 Signature vs non-signature? Thank you Kevin!The EL-34 tubes now sound marvelous when I changed the I/C cables. | |
| Difference: Cary SLI80 Signature vs non-signature? Hello Kevin,I am a SLI-80 user and I like it a lot. Do you have any experience in using EL-34 tubes with it? I sold the SLI-50 amplifier and sometimes I miss that liquid EL-34 sound. Gregg from Cary suggested I can use EL-34 tubes with the SLI-80.... | |
| New Audio Frontiers "Legend" integrated amplifier Thank you! | |
| Amplifier problem Thank you!I found an excellent technician who fixed the problem. The culprits were one blown resistor and two KT-88 output tubes)! | |
| GEC KT88 single-getter vs. triple-getter tubes jtaysk: I don't have a tube tester. I ordered three-getter GEC tubes from HK as NOS two years ago and they appeared as such, but who can tell...I've seen GEC tubes at Tejatubes, they also occasionally appear at Brent Jessee Recording, but the pric... | |

| NOS ECC82 and ECC83 tubes for Unison Research amps Thank you!AS for me, I tried Siemens 5814WA and GE 5814 in 12AU7 position and Philips Miniwatt 12AX7. Philips and GE are very delicate sounding tubes as compared to stock ones. Siemens are very punchy and articulate with very prominent midrange. | |
| Is the Acoustic Zen Satori Shotgun warm?? I have AZ Satori single-run cable, not shotgun. It's dynamic, neutral and relaxed, has fat bass but not exactly "soft", and places soundstage well behind the speakers. I prefer much more expensive biwire Pure Note Cerulean with Silverline Sonatas,... | |
| Sound traps/acoustic panels to improve the sound I recently received Silverline Sonata-III speakers and the aforementioned unplesant effect disappeared, though I admit that the room may be overabsorbed. Even with Sonatas, the highs are not as prominent as could be expected from these speakers. I... | |
| Kimber vs Jensen coupling caps in Cary amps Reb: The V-caps are located free in space (no tapes) and don't touch anything. | |
| Kimber vs Jensen coupling caps in Cary amps Some time ago I installed 0.22 uf V-caps in my Cary SLI-80 integrated. My first impression was, as compared to jensens copper-oil caps, that the V-caps didn't have such air and sounded mechanical. Yes, they removed some midrange veil but were stil... |
