Cary Audio Cad 805 AE tube rolling


Hello;

Anyone have any experience with tube rolling on the Cary CAD 805 AE?
The best 211 I tried Amperex vt4c brass base.
Best 6sn7gt I tried mullard ecc33 as input tube and fivre 6sn7 black plate ('50 years) as driver tube. Sylvania 6sn7w metal base , tungsol RP and RCA 5692 red base were disappointing!
Standard 300b (cary audio) is ok but 300B wesatern electric ('90 years)is awesome....

Thanks, Michele

Casouza,

The 805 AE can use both, and actually comes with both. A buddy of mine has a pair and he prefers the 211s to the 845s, I prefer the 845s. It all comes down to taste, which I think is why Cary put in a switch to allow both tubes. Very cool idea IMO...
