Default Anyone using Cary Audio Tube Products?
Anyone on here using Cary Audio Tube Products? They are made in NC, and look really nice. These mono amps are 90lbs per amp! These pics are from their website. Feel free to post your own.

I have a pair of 805 anniversary mono blocks. The sound is so sweet it's hard to beat, BUT the amp is fragile. If a tube fails it may take out parts and will require a trip to the mothership. Happened to me once.

I also have a SPL-98L that I have not opened yet. I plan on doing so when I move to a bigger house. Current system is all McIntosh. Those are the two brands I mostly buy when I comes to tubes.

Check out my pics in the Cary section.

I cant believe I didn't see the Cary section under Manufacturers! I guess I have always skipped over it! Many pardons requested. If the mod can move this thread to there I would be thankful!

I had a V12 too. I loved it. I want the V12 monos. I had some Wing C in mine. What you got in yours? I still have the SLP-98, but it's in a moving box somewhere in the house.

Sold them awhile ago, still miss them, would've loved to hear the V12 monos!
Had ruby EL 34 from what I remember. Only reason I sold the pre was I couldn't see how loud I was running from across the room...condo neighbors and all...
Break out the SLP98!
