CARY SLP05 - tube configuration?


For all you 05 owners, what are the tubes that you use or mix of tubes that you use and on which locations?  I currently have 4 popes in the system, mixed with 2 stock EH tubes in the right and left single ended negative sections.  

I find it to be the right mix of bite and warmth.

I run mine balanced as well and for that reason focus mostly on the 3 & 6 sockets. I have gone through many NOS as well as new Pavanes. My favorite is the CBS Hytron 5692. Rich yet still liner and balanced. Haven’t heard the Popes but have read good things.

Have you heard this DAC with the upgrade package? Wondering if it is worth the cash.
joey, I just discovered that there is a separate post about this. However, as of today, no one has heard it.
