| The SLP-05 Ultimate Upgrade I have had an SLP 05 for years and it replaced a Sonic Frontiers Line 3. I do plan to get the Cary upgrade done. I rolled every 6sn7 tube available including the rare metal based ones as well as the metal bottomed Russians and found the 6f8g's and... | |
| No strain with the Strain Gauge, Nice review thanks for the information. I am currently using the Soundsmith ,The Voice cartridge and have considered the Strain Gauge & like yourself I would have to buy used. What do you have for a turntable? | |
| Martin Logan Tweaks / Upgrades You might try the Synergistic Research XOT. You can borrow a pair from the cable company. I have a pair on my Summits and they did improve the sound quality not by a lot but is was noticeable. I believe the go for about $450. | |
| PS Audio NEW Huron Firware upgrade. 😩😫😩 I have to vehemently disagree with Audioman58. I really liked Torrey's but in all parameters Huron is better. It doesn't cost anything to try and as pmotz said you can always go back to Torrey's. The DS dac is the least expensive piece of equipmen... | |
| Source Loudspeaker Technologies speakers.....any owners out there?? Recently my wife & I moved to Maine. After settling in & getting my stereo system up & running I went online to see if there were any Hifi stores nearby. Much to my delight there was Longplayer Stereo only 20 minutes away. The owner Ri... | |
| Can I Live With A Hardwood Floor? My new stereo room has marble floors, no drapes or carpet and typical drywall and had a nasty slap echo. I installed 25 Synergistic Research HFT's according to their recommendations and the slap echo is gone. I probably didn't need that many but I... | |
| Advice using electrostats with tube amp. I have been running ML Summits with a pair of Cary 211AE's for over 5 years now. Wonderful sound ! | |
| Best Rock Album of 2016 I also like Lissie's album but Billy Gibbons ,Perfectamundo just flat out rocks. You won't find any clever lyrics or something drastically different but it is just pure fun to listen to. For current song of the year, I would select Maia Sharps "No... | |
| Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord? Interesting thread. I have to ask Bacardi if you have ever used power conditioners before? The reason I ask is how much of what you hear is due to the power conditioning being done. I use 2 large Equi=Tech power conditioners in my system. The firs... | |
| CHINESE tubes? One has to be careful with broad brush statements when their are so many variables at play. I use a mix of NOS & Chinese tubes in my systems with excellent success. The NOS 845's & 300B's were just a little too expensive for my budget. I u... | |
| czech tube amp KR audio makes some of their own tubes & if I remember correctly at least one of the tube designs was unique to them, | |
| The Best , make that the all time best, 6SN7. I did not miss your headline but who included in the the discussion the 6J5-GT Hel-Lo!!!! | |
| The Best , make that the all time best, 6SN7. I like the 6F8G's which require an adapter much better then the 6SN7's but better still are the Marconi BL63's which also require an adapter. Before using the latter, you need to make sure your gear is up to the current demands of this wonderful t... | |
| Music for cats... We had a Siamese that liked the Blues or just about anything with a predominant violin or cello. | |
| PS Audio GCPH Phono Preamp I had one for about a year & it was decent for the bucks. The output is on the low side so be careful what cartridge you pair it with. |
