Amp/Preamp Asylum Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here. |
|
I'm trying to decide between a SLP-98 and if I want to spend the extra money for a SLP-05. Any issues regarding the frequency of tube replacements, capacitor problems, etc.?
I don't yet have a matching amp, I'll need to decide on that as well but am considering a SS amp as, in addition to dedicated listening, I listen to a fair amount of Internet radio as background music and I don't want to be replacing power tubes for that reason.
Other preamps I'm considering don't have as many tubes. These include the CJ ET-3se, or maybe I'll just go with a Classic 2se. Either of these with the phono section because almost all of my dedicated listening is vinyl.
For vinyl with the Cary SLP-05 I'd use my Art Audio Vinyl One phono preamp or a SS Plinius Jarrah that I also have and perhaps get a new SS phono amp later.
