Damn,I cannot be content with some of the audio gear I have been buying.But that is a good thing.I snagged a B&K 200.7 from E/bay a couple of months ago.After serious evaluation it is not the amp for me.I looked and was ready to by an Anthem A5 but passed on that.I was window shopping on A.Gon yesterday and think I made a smart buy.I know Cary is well known for their tube amps but saw a Cary Cinema 5 for sale.I quickly read some reviews then e/mailed the seller.It was still available.I called him and we talked for awhile.Talk about a serious audiophile.he states he has 4 seperate rigs in the house and I do not doubt him.Anyway,this amp retails for $5500.It is a low hour 2009 model.I got it to my door for $2550.00.I will let you guys know what I think about it after a couple of weeks of music and ht....eddie
