| A listening test of two power amps I have run the DAC gamut. I've had a Schiit Bifrost, RME ADI2, a host of Topping's, IFI K9 PRO, Denafrips ARES II, leading up to a Cary Audio DMS-550. My current DAC/Streamer is by far the best I've had. Eversolo DMP-A8. I have friends that have D... | |
| Sonas Faber OLYMPICA versions I bought a used pair of Sonus Faber Serafino speakers for $11,500. They are in perfect condition and sound fantastic. Highly recommend them. | |
| Speakers 10 years old or older that can compete with todays best, I love my Dunlavy SC-V speakers. I have them as front speakers in my really large media room. I play them in stereo all the time because they sound so good. They are really large and fill the room with sound. They are not high fidelity. My downsta... | |
| Recommend me a DAC under 3k I have a variety if systems with DACs. My base system is a Denefrips Ares II. it is a really good basic dac. My mid system has a FIIO K9 Pro ESS. it is a dac and streamer. it has two ESS 9038PRO dac chips and costs less than $1k. Absolute bargain ... | |
| Speaker that are 'KEEPERS" for the long haul!!! For me it's the Sonus Faber Serafinos with a pair of REL S/812 subs. I have had many speakers through the years. These are far and away the best I've had. | |
| What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first? My endgame speaker is Sonus Faber Serafino. I have had many speakers through the years. These have blown my mind!!! | |
| Speakers with deep/powerful bass GoldenEar Triton Reference. Built in subs with 750w amps. They go down to 12 htz. 92db sensitivity. Great speaker. | |
| Ultimate stereo nightmare My upstairs system is 16 channels and 2 subs with processor and separate amps. Outside audio also tied into processor. Huge jumble of wires. I solved my problem with a label maker. Tabbed each speaker cable and both ends if interconnects. Labels a... | |
| Primaluna or not Primaluna As an owner of two Primaluna Dialogue Seven Monoblocks my take is if you want tube sound you can't do much better, especially for the money. I put extra into a Cary Audio SLP-05 preamp. System sounds fantastic. | |
| Are Their any Tube Preamp with Home Theater Bypass? Cary Audio SLP-05. End game preamp. Has HT bypass. | |
| Viva Tubes Bought matched octet of PS Vane 6sn7 tennis balls. Tested them upon arrival. All good. I also got kt120’s without issues. Never a problem. | |
| I’ve got the upgrade itch I have a Cary SLP-05. Love it. It has eight 6SN7 tubes. Two just for headphone out so they sound great. You can buy it direct with a 30 day audition. It is end game preamp. https://carydirect.com/shop-now/slp-05.html | |
| Chime in if you bought a second table that cost a fraction of your main table. I also went backwards. I have two separate systems. I have a "surround" system with a Denon AVR, totally separate amps and a conglomeration of speakers. My TT is a Marantz TT-15s1 and Clearaudio Virtuoso cartridge it came with. My reference syste... | |
| Phono Stage Amp I have the SLP 05 with two Primaluna Dialogue 7 monoblocks. I use speakers with powered bass, GoldenEar Triton Reference. No power problem. You could get more amps and biwire your speakers. | |
| Is the Cary SLP-05 still relavant? Had my SLP-05 for 2 years. Bought it with all the upgrades because I knew I would eventually make the changes. It came with Electro-Harmonix tubes that are considered average. I rolled in Psvane 6sn7-se "tennis balls". Wow, it sounds great. Commen... |
