Cary slp-05 tubes rumor or fact?


Fellow audiophiles,

I would love to try the Black Treasure 6SN7 tubes in my Cary slp-05 preamp but am worried that their base is too large to fit into the openings on the top of the preamp. This same question has been asked before, but without response. Can anyone confirm or refute this?

You response is much appreciated!

Thanks for all the good info everyone.

I've taken the BT's off my list. Thanks

Right now I am using CBS Hytron 5692's which I feel do have an enjoyably deep soundstage. But the bug in my ear keeps telling me that there must be an even better tube out there that meets my criteria. Any recommendations from other previous Hytron users in the slp-05 that have moved on to greener pastures tube-wise?

Thanks

Psvane 6sn7 is the same as the black treasure tube .But the tube base is a little smaller.I did try the Pope 6sn7 tube from Upscale audio and still preffered the stock EH 6sn7 tube .I'm now using Psvane 6sn7 in the 4 left and Sophia 6sn7 in the balanced and very happy with the sound.
Thanks Jtran.

I currently run four Hytrons and a pair of Cryo'd gold pin EH. But you now have me considering buying a quad of the Sophias and Psvanes and trying various combos. This could be fun!! How would you characterize the difference between the two?

Regards,

Sophia sound like the EH ,but with much better definition and detail.The Psvane is even more detail and very organic.Very smooth from top to bottom.I would recommend having a quad of the Psvane on the 4 left first then a pair of Sophia at position #3 and #6.
