SLP-05 Vacuum Tube Preamplifier

Cary Audio’s finest preamplifier has been the recipient of many awards and glowing reviews. It consists of one enclosure housing the preamplifier itself and a second separate power supply to keep noise out of the musical signal path and provide a more stable electrical foundation. Like most Cary Audio products, it is fully differential-balanced in construction to further reduce electronic noise and uses no global feedback for faster response. The SLP-05 features three pairs of RCA inputs plus a tape loop and two pairs of XLR balanced inputs. It includes a Cinema Bypass mode so you can share sources between the music system and a home theater processor without worrying about degrading the signal path or having to readjust the volume.

A set of hand-matched tubes is provided with your SLP-05 and a matched pair that simply powers a built-in headphone amplifier. All of this technology simply means that you will be listening to music that is lifelike in its richness and clarity and full of the tiny details that raise the SLP-05 from simply good to world-class. Cary Audio’s attention to detail in circuit design, parts quality, and a superb finish makes this truly an investment in musical enjoyment and pride of ownership.

The Ultimate Upgrade is now available for the SLP-05 and consists of changes to the power supply and the line stage circuit. Click here to learn more.
