Jake I have the exact combo slp 98p and cad 120's the first 35 watts are class A and the bias should be set at 140 to 150 on the meters. In ultralinear you can peg the needles as per the manual. This combo is a match made in heaven. Make sure all your tubes are good. You won't have to upgrade to the mark II with the slp98p either because the pre has plenty of gain in it. Best of luck.
CARY CAD120s clipping?
Have just bought a cary Cad 120s tube amp and useing my dads old luxman solid state preamp till have enough money for a cary slp-98p preamp. Not really the ideal match, but will have to do for now.
My question is dose anyone had experience with the cad 120s from cary and when dose the amp start into clipping?
What position on the volume knob dose it start clipping?
And if the bias meters in the front go past the 200 gauge dose while playing loud dose this mean it's in clipping mode?
If anyone owns a cary slp-98p and the cary cad120s as there setup it would be really appreciated let me know your experiences."
Thanks you guys.
