Cary SLI 80 Signature Upgrade?


I just ordered one of these with HexFreds and KT120s and my audio guy suggested I may also want to upgrade to Cardas Caps and move the oil filled Audio 1s to the back. He would do it himself because he would charge less than Cary. I’m new to this audiophile thing so…any opinions?

This is a bigger topic than I was prepared for! I was expecting a simple yes or no. Ha. I should have done some research before asking. I have a feeling this will take some time...I'll look into the Jupiters first.
Yeah, John at Audio Connection is my guy! He’s the one who recommended I consider upgrading to those old Cardas Caps he has but of course he told me I can wait to do it IF I want to do it. I really I want to be satisfied with what I’ve got from the get-go and not fall down the slippery slope of obsessing about upgrading and tube rolling in the future, which is why I asked you all if I should switch out the Jensens now.

Since it was mentioned, I never had a budget…I just spent more than I originally thought I had to in order to achieve GOOD sound. This is actually just a part of “furnishing” a new home from almost scratch and I like nice things and I’m paying for it all with cash so I haven’t completely lost my mind!
