Been running my Canton Ref 9Ks with the 20wpc Class A power from the Rocket 88 and am pleased to report that it sounds terrific with Tung-Sol EL84 current drivers & El34 outputs & RCA 12BZ7 inverter tubes. As Dennis states in the intro in the OM, designed with the minimum number of amplification stages provides a clean, clear, fast sound. Same with the Elekit TU-8500 preamp with only a single pair of 12AU7s in the signal path. Both are working very well for me. Another pic with the EL34s in place. This has turned out to be a wonderful sounding amp. Am now on the lookout for a pair of the CAD-50SL MkII, which is the last in the series of Cary PP monoblocks. Don't show up very often.
