Timm, Great review and characterization of the different speakers. How would you describe the bass presentation of your Odysseys and Descent combo as compared to the newer MLspeakers with powered subs? Thanks, Bing

Single biwire audioquest granite into Ascents. Consider buying used? Once you decide you can get a lot for your money on audiogon

Update Well, It has been about a month since I posted this thread. I have not had an issue since I moved the tubes around, so I believe Roberto got the diagnosis correct. Thanks to Roberto for the tips, Bing

Timm, Other than getting a chance to demo tubes on your system, I think getting opinions as you are, is better information than no information at all. It appears either choice is still a significant improvement over the stock tubes, so you got that goin for you:D Let us know what you end up...

Thanks, I am leaving everything alone for the time being. If I hear it again, it will go back to Cary. I was thinking of upgrading tubes anyway, but will give it time. Fractured solder makes a lot of sense. I would imagine temperature or humidity changes might be a trigger if this is the...

Thank you Roberto Hola Roberto Thank you so much for the information. I am saving this note because I have never seen or heard a better vocabulary of descriptors for audiophiles. You must write for a living. I will try the wd 40. It makes a lot of sense. Just one question, How do you clean...

All, thanks for the great suggestions. Roberto, Iinstead of switching leads, I moved tubes around some. Anyway it has been good ever since I posted. Someone mentioned a cap going bad. The Cary tech thought this was a possibility ( as well as a tube going bad. ) I've never had either to deal...

Recently I got a Cary Slp 98 pre amp. Last weeken I had just turned the pre from standby to on, played a cd, and shortly into the cd I got some very loud pops and crackling from my speakers. It was probably twice as loud as the music. Now I have never had this issue in the 8 years of owning...

While there are many good choices others have listed, my experience with Cary's SLP 98 is very similar to timm. I am very happy with it. Best of luck, Jeff

Hi all, A while back I posted regarding making some changes to my system. Well recently I added a Cary SLP98P preamp. Other components are Denon 3910 with Alex Peychev mods, Bryston 4Bsst amp, and ML Ascents. The Cary has really changed the sound of my system much more than I expected. I am...

I listened to an Anthem many years ago when auditioning my Ascents. I remember being very impressed . Only reason I didn't consider it was that it was an integrated amp, and I wanted separate pre and main. Best Regards

Thanks all, Good advice. I didn't know about the Cable Company, that sounds like a great place to start. I found a dealer today that sells both Cary and Bryston, am waiting to speak to a tech that has been there more than three months. I also have heard good things about Kimber Cable and Tara...

Hi everyone , I finally broke down and bought a Cary SLP 98P preamp for my system ( Bryston 4 bsst, ML Ascents, Denon 3910 modded by Alex Peychev) The Cary will replace my bryston preamp. I will need new RCA interconnects between the Cary Pre and the bryston amp. Any suggestions? I am trying...

Please excuse my ignorance, I don't understand why you would need an external crossover. Would you mind providing more explanation? I am considering a JL sub. Thank you

Well, last night I experimented some by following the suggestions and putting room treatments in strategic areas. I also moved my listening position forward about 3 ft because I thought I might be getting reflection of some columns I have "boxed in" with drywall. I think the two combined really...

I've heard them, they are awesome.

I was hoping it wasn't going to be a do over on the amp cause it seems like a bottomless pit when it comes to power. Just fyi, My listening area is very large. That is why I thought maybe the sub wasn't adequate. Thought maybe the room dynamics may be sucking up the bass / mid bass. The room...

Hi everyone, Im pretty new here , but have owned MLs for 8 years now. I am awed by the experience on this forum and i come to you asking for advice on an upgrade to my system. So, to start, here's what I have: Denon 3910 SACD/CD/DVD with solid state modifications by Alex Peychev Bryston BP25...
