Hola. Me llegó esto por correo directamente de Cary. Es una tabla comparativa para los amplificadores integrados que quizás a alguien le puede ser útil. Por mi parte tengo el SLi-80 (anterior al SLI-80HS) con tubos EL34 que suena completamente delicioso. Como buen amante de la marca ya decidí que me lo dejaré para siempre. Por ahí anda un SI-300.2d que también solo ha dado satisfacciones.
