98P.
I had got rid of the overpriced/overunderenginnered 7.5 by then and replaced with a mate"s overacheiving immensely musical 98P. Dropped a bundle on that transaction!!I am sure the 500MB's in the US are fine, however there is a big difference between 120vlt/60hz power in the US and 240vlt/50 hz power as the transformers need to work a LOT HARDER. Cary eventually admitted (after quite a few other complaints from the EU) they screwed up with supplying incorrect spec tranformers. It did not help the the moron of an importer implied that EVERY other piece of my equipment was to blame as well as my wiring - I have seperate spurs feeding the hifi.
The 2nd set of 500MB's were quieter (but they sounded different and lost their original magic that I liked), however the transformers still hummed and the importer was still being a wanker, so I cut my loses and demanded a full refund after 5 months of pure hell, threatening legal action and eventually got a refund.
HI-Fi and music is supposed to be fun and your equipment at this elevated price should work perfectly. pity as I wanted to try the SLP 05, but not with this experience and the JOKE of an importer into Australia who does nt know what customer service is. I will no longer do any business with that guy or any products he imports
Anyway, very happy with my Mac tube amps (which are a lot quieter than the 500MB's) and I know that they will last a lifetime if I keep them that long :)
