Cary Audio SLP-05 vs Coincident Statement Line Stage

audioconnection1,122 posts05-05-2020 9:40amWhat speakers, are you running with?Do you have them too far out into the room for a decent power response? Try and find an Aesthetix Métis! or Calisto with your Aesthetix phono and correct set up it should be amazing.

Re the gain of the SLP-05, John Atkinson measured a much lower figure (13.8 db) than the 24 db that is specified in the manual for balanced i/o.

Another point to consider, though, is that given the 4.5 meter length of the interconnects the SLP-05’s measured output impedance of approximately 1500 ohms in the treble region suggests that low capacitance cables should be used. Anything above roughly 30 pf/foot or so may have adverse effects on the top octave. That would not be a concern with the Coincident Statement Line Stage.

Good luck. Regards,
