I saw another post recently where someone bought one and in their opinion, it was a piece of crap. No soundstage---flat, and crappy dynamics. Being a Cary guy, I have a hard time believing that Dennis would put his name on anything that bad.You guys are owners, is it that bad?
Meanwhile, The best two 6SN7s for your preamps are the Sylvania 6SN7W Tall bottle which will give your system more life, the short bottle varient if you need better low volume dynamics and detail, and the best balanced is the 1952 6SN7GT made from late 51 through some of 53. tubeseller.com is a dealer in only 6SN7s, and Tube World has very nice pairs of the tall bottle 6SN7Ws at $300/pr.
