Hi Jack, I just joined the forum. I am the guy that bought the Cary 200ts. I received it today. I will post my thoughts after I have decided if I am going to keep it. It needs some break in time. So far the SS is better than the tube. Much more body and weight to the midrange while the tube output has a more airy midrange. The frequency response appears to be fairly flat unlike the Marantz which has too much bass, a recessed midrange and forward lower treble along with an in your face sound.
I am running a BAT VK-51se preamp, Pass Labs X250 amp and Magnepan 1.6 speakers with a sub crossed over at 45Hz.
