| Do Rega arms work well with LP12s? Just get the Ittock LVII or the Ekos if you can afford it. Wait for it if you have to, it'll be worth it. Skip all the upgraded bullshit and you'll still have a great sounding table. I rebuilt 3 of them and I'm not mechanically inclined, and all 3... | |
| Power up my Cary tube integrated? Fire it up! | |
| Preamps suggestions for cary cad120s SLP98P I have that combo. You won't need to upgrade to the MK II since the 98 has plenty of gain. The 98 is an excellent pre, and the phono stage works very nicely. You can even use a MC cart. if it has at least 1.4mv good luck. | |
| Preamp with tone controls? You may want to try a DBX 10/20/EQ. They have an excellent bypass and will not change the sound of your system by simply being hooked up. $350.00 to 400.00 good luck. | |
| How do I break in a tube amplifier? Always make sure you have speakers hooked up to a tube amp, turn it on last, when starting up, turn it off first,when shutting down. Let it warm up for a few minutes then play music. You should run the amp at least 3 hours or not use it. When you ... | |
| B & W Speakers - What's Up? Always use legal recource when buying or just admit to yourself that there are speakers that sound better than what you think sound best. You need the money more no matter what, unless you don't have to have a job, regardless of what you may be bu... | |
| Can cary slp-03 work with 120S? I have the CAD 120's, and I promise you the SLP98 will work perfectly with it. It's hard to do but try to wait for the 98P if you can afford one. The CAD 120's is an excellent amp. | |
| Tube amps that kick ass? Want good all around and good bass? Cary CAD 120's with Gold Lions. You must also have a good preamp too. | |
| Sexiest Pop Song Ever? Big Titties by Jim Dandy and Black Oak Arkansas Recorded in Europe. | |
| Tube in Preamp or Power amp? Tube amp will have more of a tube sound. The best is to get both. If you can't afford seperates, get a tube integrated amp like a CarySLI 80. Best of luck. | |
| Are KT88 Gold Lions Amp Tubes dependable I run them (8) in a Cary CAD 120 amp. Sound great and no problems. | |
| looking to purchase AT6006 tonearm lift or similar I had 2 of the AT6006's I liked them, but once they wear out, forget it. The next thing for me will be trying thr Q-UP. Less cost too. | |
| LINN Majik vs Classik vs Wakonda vs Kairn 4drjohn, I'm getting a Linn Classik w/tuner tomorrow. $484.00 yeah, I got a decent price. This will be my 3rd one. I have an all tube system, but can't play it for several months a year due to lightening here in Florida. I got a pair of Katans las... | |
| Cary V12r with balance unequal when in bias Bias the tubes @ 238mV the LED's just show that the tubes are ok. 1 or 2 degrees of a turn on the adjustments can make a hell of a difference. I have a meter that you can have if you need. I had a V12R and when you bias them right they are a hell ... | |
| Whats the differen Between cary CAD 120s vs120sMK2 I have the 120's. The MKII is not necessary with the SLP98P because the preamp has enough gain in it. The only mod I've had done to the amp was getting hi-performance hexfreds and Cardas caps installed. Oh, the faceplate is painted differently on ... |
