RE: recommendation

"But is the bass not as tight and controlled with tubes or is just my pre-conceived idea?"

As a generalization, there is some truth to it, but I think it can vary from one tube amp to another. It's a question of degrees. There might be a degree of bass control loss, but is it worth it to gain the other, positive qualities of a tube amp? I think it is, but that's just me.

Which used Cary integrated are you thinking of? I also have an SLI-80 Signature. It's a great-sounding amp, but if you ever need service from Cary, they're expensive. And, Cary does not make a schematic available.

I should also mention that my SLI-80 has had major QC/reliability problems. One of the items on my list of things to do is to reverse engineer a schematic for it so I can work on it without being dependent upon Cary.
