Cary 120s...anyone heard this amp

I now own the 120s and am happy to report that the sound is excellent. I agree with the above that it is open, fast and still has that sweet Cary sound. Biasing is easy with the meters on the front. If you get one, I would highly recommend getting the Gold Lion KT88 tubes to replace the EH tubes that come with it. I liked this amp with the EH tubes but with the Gold Lion...WOW!! I run it in triod mode most of the time. I think the triod mode using the balanced inputs sounds best. The amp is currently running an easy load (Coincident Total Eclipse II's) but I have tried it with other speakers and it has the power to deliver. To sum it up, I am very happy with this purchase! - Kevin

I'm pretty interested in this amp as well, now that a little time has passed does anyone have more of their thoughts they can share? Thank you.

Sincerely,
John

Still happy. - Kevin

How does the modern cary compare to old-school cary sound such as a sli-80?

I traded my beloved Cary V12R in on a new Cary CAD 120S and hear a major difference in sound quality. It is hooked up to a Cary SLP98P with all Linn sources. I've had amps that cost lots more and have heard amps costing 20-50 times the price and they are all hype, even though they sound good. This amp runs a lot cooler than the V12R did. Get one if you can, you'll love it. I haven't worked in 27 months or I'd have bought another and left it in the box for the future.
