I had a very high end solid state system (Krell, Levinson, etc.). I sold it all once I heard a pair of Cary 572 monoblocks. I couln't go back to the solid state stuff. I sold the 572 after a month to move up to the Cary 805C's. I now have their new 306/200 CD player and am waiting for their new SLP-2002 preamp to be released. I am using the SLP-50B preamp. An all Cary system. I agree with a previous poster about the silver interconnects. I am using the Kimber Select silver interconnects and speaker cables. My system sings! Buy Cary. You won't be disappointed.
Feedback on CARY products....
I liked what I heard from a Cary 300 SE integrated amp, I will audition it soon at home with my Virgos, I hope it will drive em. How about some feedback on Cary products, I will eventually listen to the 300 SE's and the 805's. Is all the hype warranted? Any other SET tube gear you guys would recommend? Cary has been around forever, it must be doing something right. Seems pricey though, what about Antique audio or even Cary's cheaper line, Audio Electronic supply??
