Canary Audio...

I borrowed a Canary CA301 MK2 for in an home audition.. It has 4 western electic 300B installed and it sounds better than my conrad johnson Premier 11A in almost every aspect except the bass (which happens to be 11A's weakness too.) Granted, the WE 300B are way expensive (and arguably superior) than the svetlana KT88 on my 11A...

Apparently Canary is not a popular brand name and I cannot even find many reviews online... I have about a week to decide if I want to keep the CA301. Please share if you own or have any expeience...

Also, I wonder how it compares to CA309 which features double the power...

Thanks.

My other components:
CDP: ARC CD1
Pre: CJ 17LS
Speaker: VA beethoven.

Hi Hklai,

I have the Canary CA-330s paired up with Conincident's Total Eclipse. My preamp is a BAT VK-30SE. My source is a Clearaudio Champion II turntable. In this system, the sound is so natural and unfatiguing. The sound is effortless with good extension at both ends. I've had my CA-330s for 18 months now, and it's been a delight. Before this I had a B&W 805N coupled with an ARC VT-100 Mk II.

Sorry but I have no experience with the 301s.
Hope this helps.

Alfred
