Line Magnetic 508ia and the Elusive 805 Tube
2018年6月7日 · As it turns out, the stock 805 tubes are only $90 each straight from the vendor for Line Magnetic stock tubes. That is half the price quoted by the dealer. For anyone out there who owns a 508ia, there is an excellent thread on the Steve Hoffman website with lots of information on tube rolling in this amp. Very informative and helpful.
tube amp for b&w signature 805 - Audiogon Discussion Forum
2003年4月7日 · The opinion of Bigkidz regarding B&W and SS is a common one. However, I had success with several tube amps with even more expensive B&W designs like Silver Signature, Signature 30, and even Nautilus 802 and 801. What you need is a powerfull tube amp with good speed and bass control.

2022年6月25日 · The R800i 805 arrived today. What a big amp! Here are just a few initial thoughts. Moving this amp in the box is a two person affair. It is a beast. Moving It. My friend had to bolt so I had to move it out of the box and onto a 36" tall space where it would sit all by myself.

Cary Audio Cad 805 AE tube rolling - Audiogon Discussion Forum
2009年10月3日 · Hi Gang. This is a general question about the Cary 805 AE tube amps. I am getting ready to switch up from switching up from solid state (Krell fpb 700CX) to something in the tube amp gear, preferrably mono's. Any good/bad advice on the Cary 805 AE. That has come into play as far as my decision in gear. Other choices are VTL and Rouge audio.

2024年12月11日 · Typically, though, they seem to mate well with lots of stuff. I was surprised to hear how easily they could be driven with Class A amplification. (I tired Luxman L-590axii, Marantz PM KI Ruby integrated, and 805 tube amp-50w Class A). These came recommended by @Bigkidz, as he heard them on the East Coast and was impressed.
Cary 805 vs 211 amp - Audiogon Discussion Forum
2014年7月27日 · IMO, the Cary 805 is an excellent amp (I've owned mine for a decade+) and it can easily drive semi-difficult speakers like my Verity P/Es. However, I'd agree that the B&W's load looks like SET amps need not apply.
