"Cary is 6SN7->6SN7->300B, all cap-coupled, so I expect a significant SQ change with some of the better coupling caps (in two stages) and simple tube swaps, perhaps even the new-production WE300B or Takatsuki."
Yes, the 6SN7 can be found in some really good versions. Personally I like the angled plates best. I'd suggest Russian teflon coupling caps - FT-2 or FT-3 if you can find them outside Russia. And definitely DC Link cathode bypasses. Not too big in 40uF. Kemet, Vishay etc. These make a difference for sure. The combination should sound excellent - it's what I use myself and I'm very pleased indeed with the sound.
