I have the CAD 120's with cardas caps. If you can get a Cary pre like the slp 98 the gain is enough, so that you will not need the MarkII upgrade. It is one hell of an amp. I'm using Gold Lions KT88's but the stock tubes sound really good too. Not sure about Sonus Faber, but the amp worked very nicely with Klipsch, Linn Majik 140's and with the L707 Lipinski speakers I have now. I hope you can get the amp. Best of luck.
Sonus Faber Cremona's w/Cary CAD 120S MKII
I have a pair of original Sonus Faber Cremona's. My tax return recently came back and I am looking at getting a tube amp. I am really interested in the Cary CAD 120S MK2 (2 here on audiogon right now) and I am wondering if anyone has had any experience with Sonus Faber and Cary or this exact combo. I will be using an Oppo BDP-105 (which has volume control) in the meantime until I can purchase a new preamp.
