In Reply to: RE: Is there such a thing as a value priced 300B Integrated ? posted by AbeCollins on December 19, 2014 at 21:31:25
I owned a Cary SEI 300 and used it for a headphone amp for a time in 2007-08 - it was nothing but trouble - went back to Cary multiple times with issues such as hum and channel imbalance. The 300B tube is a very nice tube and I did use a pair of the famed Western Electric's which were insanely expensive. It only puts out about 15W but when it worked it did have the liquid, lush, and romantic sound those tubes are know for. I sold it on Agon and never looked back. It was a real head scratcher for Dennis and his crew.

I wonder if it was a lemon or typical for this Cary model. Overall, I've been pretty happy with the Cary gear I have owned over the years.
I too have had very good luck with other Cary gear but this one had everyone scratching their head, so indeed, a lemon! Too bad really as I really like the 300B tube liquidity and warmth.
