Feedback on CARY products....

I liked what I heard from a Cary 300 SE integrated amp, I will audition it soon at home with my Virgos, I hope it will drive em. How about some feedback on Cary products, I will eventually listen to the 300 SE's and the 805's. Is all the hype warranted? Any other SET tube gear you guys would recommend? Cary has been around forever, it must be doing something right. Seems pricey though, what about Antique audio or even Cary's cheaper line, Audio Electronic supply??

My first system was a SLM 70. based . That was 12 yrs. ago.
To this day, I have never heard better midrange than a Cary based system. I have been on this site for over a year now and have never seen a pair of Cary SLM 70,s for sale. One thing I base a component on , Thats how many are for sale here on agon.
There is always something better for a cost, But with the proper speaker and silver cables( cary,s love silver cables)
the Carys well blow you away.

I have always been happy with my Cary 2A3 monoblocks. A good company that stands behind their products. I am not saying that other products are not better, I just like the way some Cary amps sound.

I had the Cary 300SEI and it didn't impress me at all. You could do better with a $1500 solid state.

I have an SLI-80 integrated and a CD-303 cd player.
Fantastic sound. Open, clear, realistic, musical etc.
Seem very reliable too.
