| Cary Audio SLP-05 First Impression Thanks @decooney, that makes sense. Hopefully they'll do the right thing. I would hate to go thru this again. | |
| Cary Audio SLP-05 First Impression Thanks @avanti1960, I sure hope they'll do a good job fixing my unit! BTW @decooney, I took your advice and reached out to the support person at MD that's been handling my case. She told me they will extend my try out period by the number ... | |
| Cary Audio SLP-05 First Impression @decooney, thanks for the suggestion! At this point, I don't have the appetite to keep trying different things. I think I'm just going to get this thing shipped out to Cary this weekend. Will definitely update you guys when I find out what ... | |
| Cary Audio SLP-05 First Impression Hey @immatthewj, FWIW, the possibility of the rectifier tube went bad was one of the discussion points I had with Cary support. He initially was going to ask me to open up the power unit to check the rectifier tube. Later on he decided that i... | |
| Cary Audio SLP-05 First Impression Hey @immatthewj, you’re right about my tubes. The 6 on the left side have no glow at all, only the 2 headphone tubes on the right side have glow. Other than that, the tubes seem to look fine to me visually. As with how a poorly seated or non func... | |
| Cary Audio SLP-05 First Impression Hey @decooney, no MD did not offer me a 30 days to resolve with Cary, but that's not a bad idea. I might try to ask them before I ship the unit to Cary. As with shipping cost, neither Cary nor MD would cover it. To MD, this is a custom order, ... | |
| Cary Audio SLP-05 First Impression Hey @kennesawjet, not sure if you’re aware, the Herron that I have is a phono stage preamp, not a line stage preamp like the Cary SLP-05. Anyway, If I have to characterize the sound quality of the Herron, then I would say it is very neutral. It j... | |
| Cary Audio SLP-05 First Impression @immatthewj, I understand your rationale on returning the unit that is not working the way it should. I feel bad because MD had already replaced my unit once. They actually were going to repair my first unit, but I asked for a replacement, and ... | |
| I want to move from Rega Planar 6 help me to pick a new turntable Hey OP, one turntable for you to consider that's within your price range is the Mofi UltraDeck. I purchased it last year to replace my Pro-ject Classic, and it was a great upgrade. It is dead quiet, smooth sounding, and tracks very well. It's ... | |
| Cary Audio SLP-05 First Impression Hey @jdub39, congrats on your Musical Fidelity preamp. I’m glad that you like the sound. That’s always the most important thing, no matter what other people think. I’ve never listened to the Musical Fidelity, but the preamp sure looks good. I’m a... | |
| Cary Audio SLP-05 First Impression Hey @ghdprentice, i would be afraid to listen to a pair of $17k IC also. My system is definitely not worthy for that. 😀 @avanti1960, I agree with you about ventilation for the power unit. It does get very warm. My cabinet is actually open on t... | |
| Cary Audio SLP-05 First Impression Hey @immatthewj, I assume MD will give me the full refund, but I didn't ask explicitly. I'm pretty disappointed with this issue. How unlucky can it be to have 2 defective units in a row, even though the first one was very minor. | |
| Cary Audio SLP-05 First Impression Here are the things that I was told to try: - unplug all the source connectors, and power up the unit and see if the meter readings go back to normal. - check the fuses on the power unit. - make sure the unit is not on mute. - he did notice... | |
| Cary Audio SLP-05 First Impression Hi everyone, I thought I would give you folks another update on my new Cary SLP-5 with Ultimate Upgrade. I’ve been playing it for a good 8 to 12 hours a day for the last 3 weeks. I now have almost 200 hours of burn in on the unit. I noticed a... | |
| Best unplugged live +1 on 'Rust Never Sleeps' by Neil Young & The Crazy Horse. +1 on 'MTV Unplugged' by 10,000 Maniacs I also really like 'The Hits Unplugged' by Foreigner. Very well done. |
