Canary tube preamps appear to offer good build quality for the money, especially on the second hand market. It is therefore surprising there isn’t much info on this brand throughout the web — not many user or “pro” reviews. What’s the deal? Do they not perform well?
I have the Canary Grand Reference 300B Mono amps with 16 Western Electric 300B tubes. The sound is glorious. It may be overkill in my case as I have 98db speakers. I could part with them for something smaller.
I have the C700, 8 tube preamp with 5AR4 rectifier and love it controlling either a Canary CA306 300b tube power amp or the Canary M50 KT88 power amp. Bought both the amps new from dealers at a substantial savings off retail. Bought the pre used and had issues with the volume and selector pods, contacted the dealer who put me in touch with a Canary tech and they sent me two new switches at a very reasonable price, they were very easy to change out. Enjoy the music
