I owned a Cary SLI80 F1 signature 2 years and loved the sound. Spent most of the time in triode mode, but needed to go into UL when playing heavier stuff. The unit I had was a bit figgity and had a couple of service issues...YRMV.... I sold it recently and acquired a Audio Note SG88. Complete opposite of what I expected...much better overall in UL than Triode. I am feeding higher efficiency Paradigm Studios and the sound is good either way...but anything group beyond a trio needs UL. LP's via my VPI Ares 2 sound way good. Unit runs cooler than the Cary, and is very convenient to use. Volume control on the remote is too "fast"....other wise overall, a modest but clear improvement over the Cary. Good luck.

Does anyone have experience with or own this integrated amp?If so, how does it compare in your experience to others at it's price range?I'm thinking of trying some tubes out and thought it would be a good place to start.Offerings from Manley and Jas Audio looked good as well in the used department.Thanks all!
