So a very heavy package arrived yesterday.
The 300B tube integrated amp - about 54 lbs of Cary 300 SEI. This is an older version that I worked out in trade, it has various upgrades. Some I don’t know what they are (more about that later).
My girlfriend took my camera away this morning with all my picks in it, so you will have to wait for that... sorry
But first…. the sound.....
WOW....
Marantz SA-7S1 -> AudioQuest Sky -> Cary 300SEI -> AT L3000's
Just has some Golden Dragon 300B's and some China 6SN7GT's... but WOW again. This is a special amp... Now I Know....
I have been falling in love with the 300B sound since I have had the Woo WA5 for a little while now. And I thought that it was safe until this Cary has come into the house.
The Bass is caressing, sensual and involving as well as having impact and weight. Vocal presentation is almost perfect in tone and detail. Man, I cannot wait to tube roll this amp. The soundstage is so deep and 3 dimensional, you are stepping into the venue. The upper registers are presented clean with no shrill. It wants to be turned up, and does not show any signs of stopping.
Back to fun.....
Cheers,
