Cary MB CAD 500 amp

"Perhaps the two-channel audiophile wasn't convinced that a primarily tube manufacturer could make a good solid-state amp (which would have been a mistake)...."

Conrad Johnson I believe may have gone thru a similar situation with the CJ Premier 350 amplifier. Some feel at the time this was the finest amp ever produced by CJ. Was it dropped due to a stigma attached by being produced by a mfr that produces tube audio gear products or due to cost? Some have reported the latter is the real culprit but I wonder.

I hate that they are coming out with a newer model that I will be impelled to buy since I have loved my MB500's so much. Dang IT!!!

The 500MB is by far my favorite amp with Maggies.

Macdadtexas, no need to think about replacing your 500MB's if you like them that much. A good amp is a good amp ... regardless of whether there is a new model or not.

Everest_Audio, by your statement you obviously think you are on another website.

LOL Macdad, this is the diseases we all have.
