Tube rolling in Cary SLI 80

I'm not sure of the thread name, but it's basically something along the lines of "Rogue Tempest/Cary SLI-80 SIg shootout". I did a whole comparison about 9 months ago.
Went thru the whole thing, documented it pretty well. Good luck finding it, it should contain some useful info.
Also, guys, the reason that I decided against the Cary (THE ONLY reason, as it was superb otherwise with $500 in NOS tubes) was the soundstage. I never was convinced that the sound was coming from a fake stage somewhere in the space between the speakers, whereas with the Rogue, it was obviously so. What do you guys think about the stage on the Cary?

Start with the 6922 tubes (the stock Sovteks are crappy)
THen do the 6sn7, then the Rectifiers , then the power tubes last. I like the ELectro Harmonix 6550 power tubes.

CHanging the 6922 and the 6sn7 should make a big difference.

I have bought from vintagetubeservices.com (you can RETURN tubes if they don't suit you, but they are SLOW) and Upscale Audio, and I recommend both highly.

good luck!
