Need thoughts on Canary & Cary


Both Canary and Cary make hollow state amps using EL 34 tubes. both make them in mono blocks and stereo, at least Cary does the SA ones... namely the V12.

Anyone with any experience owning these amps who could enlighten me as to how capable they are in driving diff speakers and their sonics would be most welcome.

I'm considering a few amps... but it's likely between these two and one other, a VAC PPP 300b dual mono.

really need the info, and really am grateful.

Always go with the company which provides superior customer service and support. Do a forum search; you'll find all of the information needed to make your decision.

Good luck!

yep. Customer service and support are most important. they are not however the only reason to buy. eg. above, build, sonics, designs, maintainence... etc. Oh, and there's that price thing too.
of all the amps i've listened to, the VAC (70/70 mk3) have always stood at the top of the heap, above Cary (805c) VTL (IT-85, ST150)
