@txp1 Thanks for the info my unit hasn't sold yet so I may seek some out to fill the cage holes like you did or at least send them to the new owner.  FYI, a local friend says the Linlai 6SN7's are really good in his 300sei if and when you decide t...

@txp1 Cool thanks for the info.  Looks like Cary used allen head screws like on the side panels according to manual as a kind poster just responded to your other thread about side panels.

@txp yeah, no doubt.  Curious what screws did Cary say work to fill in the cage hole screws and what did you use?  It'll be interesting to hear about the side panels as well, enjoy!

I took the plunge and picked up a SLI-80HS with kitchen sink upgrades from Cary before the sale ends and right out of the box it sounded fantastic.  Came with Psvane KT88's.  I don't notice any lack of tube bloom from my old F-1 Edition.  Should o...

A short time ago I spoke with someone on the Cary sales team and they remarked the solid state rectification HS model still has the tube holography and bloom the Signature has.  (It would be interesting to find out).  They added going with solid s...

txp1 - I'm wondering the same thing having bought an F-1 edition in 2007 and enjoying it for 4 years.  Great amp, I'm thinking about getting another HS model too.  Hopefully decooney chimes in.
