Attention Cary V12R owners


Hi every one my dad is currently looking at a used newly refurbished Cary V12 power amp with new Jenson caps and tubes, for a very scookum price! I am only asking has any one(owners) had any issues or troubles with this amp. If so what are they, or is this a very good power amp to get for $1900. My dad is really hooked on cary since I have a cary 120s and how good it is.

I not really looking for any suggestions on other tube amps just the meat and potato's. To see if it even is even a great running amp before he flips out the paperbacks.

Thanks let me know your experiences and thoughts"

Well my dad originally had an 80's luxman integrated 50watt single ended solid state amp which overheated and since can't get parts is buying a new amp, so he would happy with any thing with a triode circuit. But thanks for the input with the capacitors. I was acutely going to get them uprated on my cad120s but probably go with the Cardas caps then.

Though I am glad everyone has not had major problems with this model amp. This should settle his mind on buying it.

I truly hate new audio sales men when a person like my dad looks for a deal in his price to replace his old amp and is in a tight budget. And says the Cary amp is a crap product and poorly designed, after his store use to sale cary before he started working there.

Also if cary is that bad why would they even use to sell cary in the first place and in fact cary it for 5 striate years! Then saying for my dad to cuff up $4000 more and buy a prima luna mono amps! Which he can not even do in the first place.

And people who I have talked with that have been selling i the audio equipment business for more then 30years. More years experience then the new guys are, and praise how great cary audio tube amp products are and reliable!
