Cary CAD 120s MkII vs. Music Reference RM200 MkII

It should work well since you have independant balance controls on the 98.

Thanks! Will keep you posted.

I had Roger upgrade my Music Ref with the KT 120 tubes.

I set the Music Reference up with the Josephs and let it burn in for about 50 hrs (as per Roger). And I am tickled pink, to say the least! So far I have heard things that I never have from my system. I have been an avid Beatles fan for 35 years now, and am just discovering the details and nuances that have been hidden all these years. The Love album ( a true masterpiece by the Martins) has more than come alive.

There definitely is a synergy between the Josephs and the MR 200 MkII.

I am skeptical now about using the Cary! Oh, the dilemmas of an obsessive audiophile!

To be continued...maybe!

In the Stereophile review it notes that there are no blue LEDs with the Music Ref amp...shocking.

Wouldn't the RM-9 be more comparable to a Cary? Course you can't get one new but Roger has them.
