John, the only other amp I've tried was a Mac275 tube and the MC 7270 SS. Both sounded really good. The 275 has more of a SS sound (but runs cool for tubes) the 7270 also sounded good, but the CAD 120 is excellent. I'm now in the camp of friends don't let friends listen to solid state, even though my 2nd system is ss. Best of luck if you get the 120. Lipinski L707's and Wilson Witt II's sound great and all I now use are Linn IC's I had Nordost Heimdals but there was not enough difference to justify the price. MHO
CARY CAD120s clipping?
Have just bought a cary Cad 120s tube amp and useing my dads old luxman solid state preamp till have enough money for a cary slp-98p preamp. Not really the ideal match, but will have to do for now.
My question is dose anyone had experience with the cad 120s from cary and when dose the amp start into clipping?
What position on the volume knob dose it start clipping?
And if the bias meters in the front go past the 200 gauge dose while playing loud dose this mean it's in clipping mode?
If anyone owns a cary slp-98p and the cary cad120s as there setup it would be really appreciated let me know your experiences."
Thanks you guys.
