| Original Cary 300B Monos Reliability? MW - sage advice. I’ll be ordering some WEs! | |
| Original Cary 300B Monos Reliability? Thanks SNS. I need to look into biasing the monos. | |
| Original Cary 300B Monos Reliability? Charles - I found the information regarding concerns with the Carys running the 300Bs near their limits. It came from the EML web page. They suggested the XLS as a best option for Cary. Those tubes may draw more amperage, so I would check with Car... | |
| Original Cary 300B Monos Reliability? Update: somewhat disappointed with the Cary monos/ProAc R2 combo, BUT, my 16 ohm single driver speakers (Finale Audio: Vivace Mini) are an excellent match. I'm missing a little bit of the mid-bass weight from my JBL L112 along with ultimate volume... | |
| Original Cary 300B Monos Reliability? Thanks all, for offering your feedback. I understand schematics, but I'm not good at all with the math for circuit design. The discussion centered around too much capacitance after the rectifier, and they also thought the 300B was run quite hard. ... | |
| ProAc Response 2: CJ CAV45, Cary SEI 300B, or Cary Rocket 88? Perkri - thanks for sharing. That's something I really appreciate about most tube amps - regardless of age, you can bring them back to like-new or better with new caps/resistors. If someone is handy, they can do the maintenance themselves. Looks l... | |
| ProAc Response 2: CJ CAV45, Cary SEI 300B, or Cary Rocket 88? Thanks Ralph - I really appreciate that bit of history. I was unaware that the M-60 was so popular with the R2. | |
| ProAc Response 2: CJ CAV45, Cary SEI 300B, or Cary Rocket 88? Agreed, I can't wait to start getting everything in the house! | |
| ProAc Response 2: CJ CAV45, Cary SEI 300B, or Cary Rocket 88? Hi Charles - I don't have the AI yet, but I just accepted a counteroffer to purchase an M3B. My plan is to find a pair of 300B Cary monos with the AI and compare with the CJ45. I'd really prefer a one-box setup, if the sound is close enough. I als... | |
| ProAc Response 2: CJ CAV45, Cary SEI 300B, or Cary Rocket 88? Charles - now that I'm close to a deal with the AI-M3B, I really want to source a pair of the CAD monos. It will be a lot of fun to audition a few integrateds against some quality separates. For anyone who cares, I'll post observations as I acqu... | |
| ProAc Response 2: CJ CAV45, Cary SEI 300B, or Cary Rocket 88? Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts and experience. I had an RM9 Mk I some years ago, but I did not have a quality preamp paired with it. I'm sure the RM9 II with AI3 would be a great system. Along with the CAV45 on the way, which sh... | |
| ProAc Response 2: CJ CAV45, Cary SEI 300B, or Cary Rocket 88? Thanks Spencer - I have a CAV45 on the way, but I'll keep an eye out for the Berning too. | |
| ProAc Response 2: CJ CAV45, Cary SEI 300B, or Cary Rocket 88? Thanks for all of the latest thoughts. Decooney - to be more clear, "authority" is not what I need when it comes to bass. I’m looking for acoustic bass that will ebb, flow, and bounce, like it does in person. Basically, an amp that makes anyone in... | |
| ProAc Response 2: CJ CAV45, Cary SEI 300B, or Cary Rocket 88? Thanks 49 - room is 8X14, and I'm trying to find the best system for lower volume listening. | |
| ProAc Response 2: CJ CAV45, Cary SEI 300B, or Cary Rocket 88? Thanks for the replies so far. I currently have a schiit Freya+ and Red Wine Audio Sig 30.2. While this combination really sounds good, I'm comparing it to a setup I heard when the ProAcs were new - Cary monos 300B and Audible Illusions 3. Every t... |
