Cary Audio Design CAD-120s mkII or Music Reference RM-9 MkII?


Looking at these 2 amps as a upgrade from my Dynaco Mkiii's, both the Cary and M R are listed on 'gon for about the same price around 2K, hoping for any input on SQ and experience on either of them.  

Would be going to into my 2nd system:
Altec 604's
primaluna dialogue premium preamplifier

Source for this mostly digital and music is classic rock and Jazz. 

thanks for your input

@spe Glad you lucked into the RM-9 experience.  I love my RM9 MK2 with vintage RFT "Siemens" EL34 tubes.  Also sounds great with Gold Lion KT88's.  It's a great all-around amp that's difficult to beat in the $4K price range if properly maintained and tubed.

Haven't tried the Cary, but love my RM9 mill with el34's.  A great value and excellent sound quality.
