To my ears go with the P3 Taplina. I owned the P3 for awhile and borrowed a LS7. I liked the P3 much better. It was more transparent and open. I didn't like the LS 7 at all in my system. It was detailed but sounded like a blanket was over my speakers.
Cary Rocket 88 & n.e.w. P-3: Best tube combo?
I just bought a Cary Rocket 88 to use with my n.e.w. (Cary) P-3 preamp, and I'm looking for tube combo suggestions. The P-3 uses 1-12BH7 output & 2-12AU7 line stage. The rocket of course uses 2-6922 p.i., 2-EL84, 4-KT-88s & 2-1629 green eyes. Any advice to a novice (me) is appreciated!
