| What tubes are in your Cary 805c? Let us know how you like the KR's and 845M's. I am especially interested in the 845M's as I have considered a pair of those myself. I liked the 845C's, but they sounded just a tad bright and "hi-fi" to me where the 845B's sound slightly more natur... | |
| What tubes are in your Cary 805c? In my experience, swapping either the 845's or 300B's can significantly change the sound. The 6SL7's make less of a change.I have experimented with Shuguang 845's, 845B's, and 845C's. Additionally, I have tried KR 300B XLS, 842VHD, and new product... | |
| GALLO Reference 3 Owners Doug,I have owned my Gallo Ref 3's for about a year and a half, and am completely satisfied with their performance. I have not experienced the resonance and brightness you suggest. I wonder if it might be caused by any of your associated equipment... | |

| Theory about Cary amps and their reviewers Nrchy,I know a lot of people will disagree, but I think you tried the wrong product if you were looking for the "Cary Magic" in the V12's. I have never owned a V12 amp, but I have auditioned them extensively. I know that the V12's are highly regar... | |
| How to deal with microphonic 300B tubes. Hi, Ecclictique. For the record, I use new production Western Electric 300b's in my Cary 805c's. I didn't recommend them to Jay because I know that standard 300b tubes won't work in the LX-20.I agree with you that overall, the KR 300bXLS make an e... | |

| How to deal with microphonic 300B tubes. Jay,I had a similar problem with KR 300b XLS's in my Cary 805c's. You may want to try KR 842VHD's. I found the 842's to not have any problems with microphonics in my system. I think they will work with the LX-20 version of your amp, but make sure ... | |
| How to deal with microphonic 300B tubes. What tubes are you using? | |
| This sucks What were you thinking, indeed.Seriously, as the other posters have asked, what were/are you trying to accomplish with your new system? It seems a fairly radical departure from the system you had.You might try KR 300BXLS tubes to replace the Sophi... | |
| 300B tube recommendation for SET amp? Dogpile,I haven't heard NOS WE 300b's from the 40's or 50's. No doubt, they are very good and likely better than the new production. Mine were manufactured in the last quarter of 2004. All I can say is that the new version is extremely good, and t... | |
| 300b vs 845 I like the 845B tube best. I have tried standard 845's, 845B's, and 845C's. The 845B is clearly superior to the standard 845's. It has a much richer sound with lots of texture. I found the sound of the 845C's too bright for my tastes. The 845C's h... | |
| 300B tube recommendation for SET amp? Dogpile,I am curious if WE 300B's will eventually be in your future? If so, you might want to consider a very inexpensive set of 300B's until you are ready for the WE investment. I have tried KR 300BXLS, KR 842VHD, Sophia Meshplate, and finally, W... | |
| Theory about Cary amps and their reviewers Duane,I am curious what specific experience you have had with unreliable Cary equipment and also with the company being unreliable. I am another completely satisfied customer. First, of a pair of SLM-100's and now a pair of 805c's. Never a problem... | |
| Integrate amp for gallo refernce 3 speakers The Gallo's take very well to tubes. Check out the Cary SLI-80, VAC Avatar, VTL IT-85, and if you can stretch your budget, the McIntosh 2275.Good Luck. |
