| What are the audio differences you hear with turntable Mats. I selected my current mat by amplifying the weak spot of turntables and listening for which mat did the best job of reducing the audible effects of that weakness. When you know what to listen for and how to do it, selecting a mat becomes easy if... | |
| Why so much love for Mcintosh? Mac are as good as anything out there if they are matched with the right speakers. | |
| Western Electric 12AX7 coming this summer. W/E also said they were going to make 6SN7 tubes too, in fact a Candaian dealer and some customers have samples. | |
| Describe the "new HiFi sound"? I associate it with a flat, neutral response in speakers. A flat response even to the sound's detriment. | |
| Tubes for a pre stage... matched NEW or unmatched identical NOS? I always buy a matched pair when there is one per each left / right channel as in this case. Also for preamp tubes I request them to be screened for low noise. | |
| Cary Audio SLP-05 First Impression @dger1979 definitely a noticeable sonic difference with different rectifiers. Stock Sovtek- kind of bland overall, nothing offensive but nothing great New production Gold Lion- improved dynamics but thick and veiled sound. NOS Amperex- Pun... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @danmar123 thanks. did you get the Linlai global or global elite? | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @pinwa When I first goy my SLP-05 I asked Cary if 1,2 and 4,5 need to be a matched quad. The answer was no, but they do need to be the same tube. Meaning 1,2 need to be a matched pair and 4,5 also need to be a matched pair of the same tube bran... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes Does the global elite model sound any better than the global? I have an SLP-05 too, currently using Sylvania 50's GTA. Thanks. | |
| Cary Audio SLP-05 First Impression @dger1979 Just checked mine and it reads 250 / 69. I am not concerned about it, been playing solid for almost 3 years. E-mail Steve at Cary, they he'll get back to you right away. I wonder if it has to do with the tube rectifier installed. ... | |
| Considering moving to separates with a tube preamp-appreciate recommendations Cary Audio SLP-05 and Parasound a21+ The SLP-05 is one of the best sounding preamps on the market and features a stand alone power supply box with low noise R-core transformer. the main unit uses glorious sounding 6SN7 and tube rectification. S... | |
| Pass x260.8 v. Parasound JC1+? I do not like the combo of Parasound and KEF blades. Cold and dry. The new .8 Pass are your ticket. | |
| Harbeth 40.3's. Should I buy them? Definitely risky with your room and amp. Your amp is very nice but has a 120 watt rating at 8 ohms 1Khz. Full bandwidth is more like 70 watts and probably no more than that at lower impedances. The Harbeth 40s really need authoritative control of... | |
| Feedback QLN Prestige Three Speakers Requested I heard these at AXPONA audio show in Chicago last April. They do sound warm and laid back but I personally could not own them, too much of the music’s presence was missing. It is possible to have a balanced, slightly tapered off sound that is ... | |
| Warm, Lush Laid-Back Smaller Floor Standers? You have a miss match between a large room and small inefficient speakers that need more power than your tube amp can provide at 6 ohms. Subwoofers are a nice consideration but will not get you all the way there. The Qln Speakers are extremely p... |
