I have read some good feedback on the Pope tubes for the Cary preamps, does anyone have experience with them and the Cary? Is it worth $600 to upgrade, is there that much improvement?
I just did some Sylvania 6SN7GT "Bad Boys" Circa 1951 in my Cary SLP05 and was totally amazed at the sound difference. Previous EH 6SN7's may have been a little tired but these Sylvanias took my system to a completely different level.
You have asked this question before. The simple answer is to roll them. Based on my largish experience rolling 6SN7s, I am confident you will find an big improvement over the Sino stock tubes. If you are real queezy about the bucks try some less expensive alternatives. Email me with you preferences and I can tell you a reasoinable bit about what's out there.
