Anyone compare Cary V12 amp to CJ MV60SE

I am in considering the purchase of one of these two amps, but unfortunately do not have the opportunity to compare side by side. I own Dynaudio Contour S5.4 speakers and a CJ PV14L preamp and am wondering what thoughts folks may have to share. I heard the CJ drive a pair of confidence c2's (in a less than ideal environment) and was impressed with how they handled the task, but I feel the Cary might be better capable of handling both my serious listening cravings as well as my "lets crank it up and bask in the glory" listening sessions. Thoughts welcome...
thanks

Hi,

I have to agree with Aronsss, the Cary "R" version is better than the original version, the 12BZ7 input gives the amp some balls. The c-j is a good amp but because the Cary offers triode mode it sounds purer and harmonics are a bit better and the Cary has a little more inner detail.

Good Luck*>)
