Hello Mike, so I have upgraded the 6SL7 and the 300B tubes. Now it’s time to address the 845’s What’s your thoughts ? Thank You in advance Jim

The BigGuy and me have a great conversations, prayer wise, and will talk with Him in regards to Albert tonight.

I have a SET 3 I purchased new from Mark at Reno HiFi February 2019. Love the amp but ended up going to Cary tube preamp and Cary tube mono amps March 2020. Haven’t used the SET 3 since then. Was considering using it on a second system. But maybe it is time to let someone else enjoy. Message me.

It’s a great day to whip somebody’s a$$

Closely matched pair of NOS RCA/GE 5691 Red Based Gray Plate Input Tubes for my Cary 805C

Just poking fun Mr Clean You are getting a fine automobile !

2001 Ford F250 4x4 SuperDuty 7.3 Diesel 244,000 miles. Still purring like a kitten. Drove it to Dave-A’s in Tennessee from Florida to pick up a set of Klipsch KP 301ii & KP 115. We put them inside the truck. 😎

This is a Great topic / thread. Thanks Claude ! I would never have known about “TriCycle”, and I am enjoying it so much. Along with a variety of other songs offered up by members.

Thank You Mike Again great information. The Cary KR 300B XLS pair for sale are used. I have found a couple pair of NOS $900-$1,100. Do you have any particular site for locating tubes for sale ? Thanks again for you help. Jim

Hello Dave hope you and family are doing well. I don’t have room for S-MWM’s but I would really really enjoy cranking up some tunes with them. I will be listening the KP-301ii up for sale in the near future. I love them but haven’t hooked them up in over 1 1/2 years.

Mike there are a pair of Cary tubes listed on USAudio for sale : “Cary Audio designs KR Enterprises KR300B XLS Pair“ Are these the tubes that require the 450v to sing ?

Thank You Mike I could not have hoped ask for a better written assessment to my question. Bravo my friend ! Cheers, Listen to the Music and Stay well Jim

I have recently purchased a Cary 805C Monoblock amplifiers with current upgrades. I have a bi-amp system using the 805 for HF. System is 402 with Radian 760 pb br 8 ohm drivers. 904 LF cabinets. l was looking for recommendations for tube selection based on experience. 6SL7 input tube 300b driver tube 845 output tube

Great news Rudy Wishing you a complete recovery and back to your normal routine. 👍

I’m with you Joe, I have a Marchand x/o and could not be happier. I know a guy that felt like you did that everything was starting to sound somewhat the same and started attributing it to hearing loss. He had some “busy life time” come up and had not listened to his system for a few months. When he did finally sit down for a listen he marveled at how beautiful the music was. He said he didn’t plan the break but felt like it was just what he needed. Not saying you need a break, just sharing a fellow audiophiles life experience. I have enjoyed reading many of your post and wish only the best for you in your musical enjoyment.

A skeleton walks into the bar and orders 2 beers and a mop.

Thanks for the recommendations and advice. Looks like I will be staying with the single SIT3 for the HF. It really does a great job by itself, just enjoy contemplating different ideas. I would love to try a pair of SIT1 but they don’t come up for sell very often.

The bass bins are klipsch 904. I use a pair of Pass Lab Aleph 2 as amplifiers.

I run First Watt SIT3 on HF (Klipsch 402) and Pass Mono blocks Aleph 2 on LF (Klipsch 904). Pass X2.5 preamplifier and Pass Aleph P preamplifier (to gain match the SIT3 and Aleph 2). Sounds really good to me.

I have a bi-amped system in which I use the First Watt SIT3 to amplify the HF K 402 with Radian 760 Br Pb drivers. My thought is to get a 2nd First Watt SIT3 to separate the L and Right HF channels so that each HF channel is separately amplified by its on SIT3. The advantage would be the isolation of the single transformer in the SIT3 only running one channel each. Sounds reasonable to me, what do you think ?
