I'm going to disagree about the "upgrade" to the 12 series tubes in the Cary line - 6922's in the Rocket are much more linear, balanced and less euphonic. Many tube gurus I have talked to agree that the reason for the change was the circuit became easier to work with as a result of the change.
AES/CARY Sixpac Mono Amps,Anyone have these?
I started to re-discover tubes and came across thses amps in The Absolute Sound and noticed there are only a few places where these can be purchased.
My Cary dealer here in Arizona can't even get a pair for me to demo.
Seems like the internal company(AES)within Cary itself just wants you to buy them and like them.
I did hear the Cary V12,and really liked it alot but can't afford the amp.These seem to be on the same structure as the V12.For the money they are probally pretty good.The only few reviews on them are (old) and from the origial debut of the amps.
I never see any of them for sale from private owners.
Is there anyone out there that have these amps and can give some more personal input on them?
Likes/Dislikes..anything??
I am demoing a pair of (Manley) MAHI amps and they are sounding not bad for a low wattage amp.I am enjoying them in Triode mode @20wpc...Hence the couriousity of the Sixpacs running Triode mode @ 50wpc....plus some of the extra upgrades offered them.Looking foward to hearing all comments.
