| AES/ AE-1 modifications Scottht, you can buy these from Parts Connexion .http://www.partsconnexion.com. Both the AE-1 and the SLP98 are close to identical in design, so you should have sucess with them like I have. kek | |
| AES/ AE-1 modifications Scottht, you will find that changing out the stock caps will make a dramatic difference in the sound. I have a Cary SLP98 that had the upgraded paper-in-oil caps from Cary and the sound was thick, somewhat slow, bloated. After reading many posts h... | |

| Cary SLP-98 vs. other high end preamps--C-J, etc. Nguyenchiro you mentioned that " SLP-98 has more bottom end but less lush midrange whereas CJ-16LS MKII has an awesome sweet midrange when listening to vocals but lack of bottom end". What caps did the Cary have in it? | |
| Cary SLP-98 vs. other high end preamps--C-J, etc. I bought a used Cary Slp98 a few months ago, it was replacing a Rogue Magnum 99 that I bought brand new and the 99 was less than 2 months old. I took a major loss on the Rogue, but it was worth it once the Cary was installed.The Cary had the pio c... | |
| Bryston 4B-ST, Magnepan 1.6QR, suggest a preamp. Dave43 the Cary also has a additional output that can be used for a sub. | |
| Bryston 4B-ST, Magnepan 1.6QR, suggest a preamp. Dave43, I own the 4Bst and have mated it with four different preamps and three of them have been tube based preamps. I find that tubes are a much better compliment with the Bryston. I had a Rogue Magnum 99 that was bought new and found the sound t... | |
| Help with very low noise, SS amp for La Scalas? Why do you want to limit yourself to 50-85 watts/channel with a solid state amp? The La Scalas are a very efficient speaker and a dynamic speaker at the same time. The dynamic presentation that these speakers can reproduce could be held in check, ... | |
| Rogue Magnum 99 vs Cary SLP-94 Preamp Tony, I recently had a Rogue Magnum 99. I was also looking for a warm, musicial, liquid (tubey) but detailed sound and I tried to achieve this from the Rogue. The Rogue had great detail but lacked that extra warmth and liquid character that you me... | |
| Bryston 4B SST vs Belles Ref. 150A/150A Hot Rod I currently use a Bryston 4Bst and find its power,dynamics, and lowend definition a welcomed mate to my system. The SST as other reviewers have said has a improved sound qualities over the ST, I cant comment on.You mentioned that you would like op... | |
| Tube pre amp suggestions for my Bryston 3BST I was using a AES AE-3 with a 4Bst with great results, went on to a Rogue Magnum 99. You difinitely want to go the tube route; it brings out the best in the Bryston. You dont know what your missing until you throw a tube preamp into your system. G... | |
| Preamps: Rogue v. VTL v. Blue Circle Kck, I can only comment on the Rogue 99, and will say that this pre is high end audio at a great price new or used. I purchased mine new.This is my 2nd tubed preamp, so I was always comparing it to the former preamp, and out of the box the Rogue s... | |
| best preamp for bryston 14 b st, or 7 b sst? You will be amazed at the sound quality that you have been missing until you introduce a good tube pre-amp with the Brystons. I was using a ss pre-amp with the 4Bst and tubes brought out a new and exsiting sound that I could never had imagined fro... | |
| Rogue Magnum 99 question I called and talked to Mark today at Rogue, to see what other tubes they have in a inventory. In so many words he areed that the 99 can be drastically improved with different tubes other than the russian NOS that were shipped with the unit. To be ... |
