Cary Audio...What do you have ?

And what did you do to make it better, or tweak it ?

I have the V12 Amp and the F1 SLP-98 Pre Amp running together.

What tubes are best for these two...in your opinion ?

They were recommended by another A'goner after I described to him what kind of sound I liked. I eventually found 4 or 5 backups here as well. I also have an Atma-sphere MP3 which they really sound good in too. Every now & again the 6SN7Ws show up for sale but they're getting more expensive each time.

They were in both my SLP98P & the 05. They are not at all involving, kind of lean & 2 dimensional to me. Hey at least you have something to listen to when the preamp arrives. The good thing about the SLP98 is that you only have to change the 2 front 6SN7 tubes to improve the sound. I also have Popes but found them a little soft sounding for my tastes. They're listed on A'gon right now.
