In Reply to: RE: Why Did AES discontinue the Sixpac tube monblocs? posted by dusted on July 18, 2011 at 04:37:41
When Dennis Had moved from control of the company the Audio Electronic division was first to go. I don't see many 6 pacs available, but do see the latest Super Amp MkII available, which I own, through various dealers. The SA mkII is a wonderful sounding and involving amp, and best yet is it uses the newer USA transformers as in the current Cary products. At 40 wpc UL and 20 wpc triode they sound spectacular for me and drive my vintage Altec Model 15s perfectly. Another great thing is it achieves full power with only 1 volt input so it is perfect for a passive preamp or variable output from a DAC or cdp with one. I've had mine for 3.5 years and love it. My 2¢

I own a pair of Six Packs, #24138 and #24139, phone ordered through Billy Wright. They are in mint condition with all original packing and manuals as well as a SLEW of various NOS EL-34's and input tubes, all matched on Hickok 539 testers using outboard meters. I can tell you that the SixPack is absolutely glorious on a pair of MartinLogan VISTA from 250Hz up - driven from a Klyne SK-5A or Bryston 12B and Marchand electronic crossover. I alternate between a VAC PA 100/100 (upgraded by VAC) and the SixPacks - and the SixPacks do about 70% of the music duty: They sound that good.
Dear Friend,
I just got hold of a Pair of THE AES CARY Mono Block AMPS from a E Bay seller in UKRAINE, I am expecting The Delivery around The 8 of APRIL 2016, He stated That The Amps are in Excellent Condidion, And He does not have the BIASING METER or THE Books on it, But The amps Are Finished in SILVER Colour, and cannot fault it.
He states that On The Specs it states That it Can RUN The KT 88 Tubes,
Have you tried to Run any other Tubes On Your Amps If so What is your opinion on Running The KT 88 Tubes, and Will it make a Difference in The IMPEDANCE or will it kill The OUTPUT TRANSFORMERS.
Any idea what output transformers are on The Six Pacs, AND will they handle THE KT 88 Tubes.
Your reply will be greatly Appreciated.
Kind Regards
