Hi all,
I just received my CAD 300SEI with ElectronHarmonix 6SN7 as input and driver, TJ 300B/C as output.
As headphone amp, the cary sound like rubbish compared to a 400€ Chinese made amp (Art&Music AM650Pro); as speaker amp, it sounds again rubbish compared to Pathos Classic One MKII.
I know that CAD 300SEI received rave reviews that's why I bought it. So I will suppose that it's
the tubes sounding bad. I know the TJ 300B/C received good review and EH tubes are terrible
tubes. But I have no idea how the input & driver tube affect the sound quality in CARY.
Please help out if you have experience with the CARY. I'd like to know if it worth it to change the tubes or I should change amp.
Thanks!
