| Newer Blues Artists or Recordings @daledeee1 I have the Sam McClain “Give It Up To Love” 45 rpm and it is outstanding. | |
| Newer Blues Artists or Recordings Great suggestions above. Been a long time blues fan after spending some years in Chicago clubs. Here are some you might check out Melvyn Taylor “Plays The Blues For You” -great pressing electric chicago blues Lucky Peterson “Just Warming Up” - o... | |
| Any Present Magnepan 3.7i owner using them in a smaller listening space... If you can put them against the 10 foot wall definitely go for it. I run 3.7’s in a 13x17 room with them placed along the 13’ wall 32”-36” out and angled slightly toward seating position. Seating position is a unilateral triangle with the speaker... | |
| Ethernet Switch- what's the point? @bkeske Thank you for a voice of reason. OP this is a great and simple summary of what bkeske uses. I have decided to go this route as I have been streaming wirelessly from my router with no noticeable issues but want to see if I can hear any dif... | |
| "Too much gain"? (Cary SLP05 question) @immatthewj Definitely think you will be happy with your decision. I went through the same litany of issues running SLP-05 into Pass X250.8. The Rothwell’s have worked out great. I usually run main volume pot between 10 and 1 with small. Balancing... | |
| Cary Audio SLP-05 First Impression xcool….congrats on your purchase but sympathy on the issues…ughhh. Have had my SLP-05 about 2 years now and still very happy with the sound; it is a fantastic sounding preamp. If you want to tube roll on a bit of a budget here is what I did. I... | |
| Rega P10/Apheta 3 connected to Luxman EQ-500. lldd…I have only been using this set up for about 2 weeks but thus far I am extremely happy with this combination. I have not tried a multitude of phono stages. I had been running through the Rega Aria previously. Soundstage is much deeper and hig... | |
| Rega P10/Apheta 3 connected to Luxman EQ-500. Thanks clarifying Dover. I will measure to get actual on the 2.5 setting. I can’t hear much difference in sound quality between the Low and high MC settings just a bit of gain difference so I will likely run at low as recommended. I have to be ... | |
| Rega P10/Apheta 3 connected to Luxman EQ-500. I am using the balanced out on the EQ-500 and have plenty of gain on either MC low or high. It seems like the 40 ohm indicated for the high setting would be a closer match to Rega Alpheta 3 recommended settings? | |
| Rega P10/Apheta 3 connected to Luxman EQ-500. I have the exact same set up except with P8. The alpheta 3 has a recommended input load impedance of 100 ohms. According to the EQ-500 manual the input impedance on the MC low setting is 2.5 ohms. Is this a mismatch to be concerned about? the ma... | |
| ARC Reference 6 or Cary SLP 05 with upgrade? @markmuse There are some here that have pointed out that the input level dials are not equivalent quality to main volume so ideally they are best left at full for seamless passthrough. This may be splitting hairs but isn’t that what we all do here... | |
| ARC Reference 6 or Cary SLP 05 with upgrade? I have the SLP-05 without the upgrade, will do it when I am going to be away so I won’t miss it. Super preamp but your concern on gain is valid. I installed rockwell attenuators as suggested by others on this forum and that worked great with no no... | |
| John Hurlbut & Jorma Kaukonen - "The River Flows" Excellent recommendation. Just ordered. Been a Jorma fan since the hippy days. Also check out live at the vogel in red bank nj. Streaming on Tidal etc. for some great versions of classics i.e. I see the light/prohibition blues/hesitation blues | |
| Your sub experience: Easy or hard? I have found it very easy to integrate a REL S510 between either my Magnepan 3.7 or Thiel 2.4’s in a smaller (11x 15 well damped room) as long as I only care about my single listening position. If you need to accommodate multiple listening positio... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes I currently run my Cary SLP-05 using Sylvania 7n7’s from 1975 that I got from JAC music Germany. They are a real improvement imo over the EH stock tubes and considerably cheaper than similar 6sn7. You need to buy an adapter for the 7n7. might be ... |
