did you try the transporter into the SLP 05 using the transporter's balanced output? you've got a pair of balanced inputs on the Cary pre, and in my experience, the XLR output on the transporter sounds noticeably better. also, make sure you've got the volume on the transporter set to fixed (100%). this also make a big difference in SQ. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ netchord's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21002 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95476 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
