Cary Audio CAD-120s mkII

Fully differentially-balanced the CAD-120S MkII offers both RCA single-ended and XLR balanced inputs to match any associated equipment. Front panel meters continually monitor the bias current to the tubes, helping you easily keep the amplifier operating at its peak efficiency. A huge power supply provides plenty of current storage to handle peak demands of your music. It can be switched on the fly from triode mode (Class A) at 60 watts per channel, to ultralinear mode (Class AB) at 120 watts per channel. This lets you enjoy the greatest possible minute details of your more delicate music, or ask for much more power when you want to turn it up a few notches. The CAD-120S MkII can make almost any system sound its very best in your home.

          The amp sounds wonderful and is in great shape with only a few minor blemishes on the top of the transformer cover (see pictures).  This model is still being manufactured by Cary Audio and currently has a retail price of $6,495.00.  All tubes, power cord, owner’s manual and original double shipping boxes are included.  The tubes will ship in their original boxes in a separate box from the amplifier.  The 6SN7 input gain and driver tubes were last replaced in January 2019 with the original Electro-Harmonix tubes.  The KT88 output tubes were recently replaced with upgraded Gold Lion tubes in June of 2021.  The KT88 tubes have low hours of use since I was experimenting with using another solid-state amp during his time.
