SLI-80 Sig Integrated Amp
 

Just pulled the trigger on an SLI-80 Sig integrated in black. Should have by next week. Listened to my friend's SLI-70 quite a bit 15yr ago with a large pair of floor-standing Thiels (3.6?). Excellent sound, so am looking forward to see how it works with my JA speakers. Purchased used, so definitely made in the good old USA.

Glenn.......Looking good. :thumbsup:

Good amp, will require tube rolling.
1 my fellow used it about 2 years with Davis Acoustic Caesar.

Dan - Thanks for the pic. Only difference is mine is black.

Glenn.......I can fix that. :p

Pretty !

Mine is in Jaguar blue with a black face plate.

Thanks, Dan. That's it. :thumbsup:
Trying to decide on which set of 6550s I'll add. Might go for the Tung-Sol 6L6 if I can get a proper bias setting.

Mine came with KT-88s.

Two power tubes that worked quite well with it are the re-issue Genalex and the Shuguang Black Treasures.

There is only one bias pot per channel, so you must use closely matched pairs.

Am going to order a set of new tubes and am wondering if anyone has rolled any of the tubes other than power? I'm thinking JAN Sylvania for the 6922, 6SN7 & 5U4 tubes. I thought very highly of the JAN Sylvania tubes in a BAT VK-30 preamp I once had and also as 12AX7s in my McIntosh tube amps. Might save $50 and go with the new Tung-Sol reissue for the 6SN7, as their reissue 12AX7 was nice, as are their 6550s and 6L6Gs.

GL reissue 6922 worked well for me except a very long burn in time, approximately 50 hours. I had some problems with flashing rectifiers. The Cetron 5R4 potato mashers were the only rectifiers that were ok. I was running through EH 5U4s at an alarming rate. For 6SN7s, I used JAN Sylvanias.
