>>>I found that using any of the upsampling made for a brittle sound, and it seemed best with the upsampling off<<<
I found that true of the 306 and the 308T as well. Very synthetic sounding with the upsampling on.>>>There are some build quality issues with the Cary as well<<<
Ditto for the 308TAs for tubes, assuming its sonic signature is similar to the 308T, Teles will nake it more laid back, and sound more detailed and linear-could be boring in the wrong system. Amperex 7316s are nice, depending on the vintage. I found Mullard long plate bass heavy, thick, and slow. Early tungsols aren't bad. You may wish to try philips E80CCs too. There are lots of 12AU7s out there, and I didn't care for most of them.
good luck
