Do all Cary amps have a 'Cary' sound ?

I've spent time quality time with vintage Mac amps, Audio Research, Counterpoint, Quicksilver, Music Reference and others, but I've never heard a Cary amp.

Is there a signature Cary sound ?

Or is there a wide variation between all the models they've produced ?

They shure do make some nice looking amps, I'm very curious how they sound.

I also have a Sli 80 and love it. I have ran a ton of different NOS tubes through it and was wondering which rectifiers you are refering to?
Thanks

If the Cary is that big an improvement over the Music Reference RM200 that's saying a lot!

Sheldon60 - RCA 5U4GBs were the offending tubes. Mullard 5AS4s set things right.
