Comments Off on Steve Huff’s DMS-650 Review

Also featuring SLI-100 tube amp! Steve Huff is a well-known American photographer and reviewer for mirrorless cameras and his website is home for honest real world review. Steve is also a hi-fi aficionado with a 35 years experience so it’s quite natural that he reviews high end audio kit as well. Steve’s reviews cover a broad spectrum of high end audio but his special love are tube amplifiers. He’s been following Cary Audio products since early 90s, and owned quite a few, mostly tube amps, of course, but also a CD player. So it was no coincidence that Steve arranged …Read More

Comments Off on DMS-700 Customer review

Cary Audio customer, Tim P., wrote an amazing two-part product review on our DMS-700 Network Audio Player. The first part was written around a year ago when he first installed the unit into his system and the second part of the review was written recently. ONE YEAR AGO “I spend about 40% of my time in SE Asia, and when there I want to listen to my music. Carrying a bunch of CDs and LPs from Canada to Vietnam every trip is not something I want to do, so I used to use a laptop output through an Audioquest Dragon …Read More

Comments Off on SLI-80HS reviewed in Hi-Fi i Muzyka (Poland)

Paweł Gołębiewski wrote this review for Polish magazine Hi-Fi i Muzyka, issue 10/2021. You can now read it online in Polish at their website, here we did a couple of (clumsy) translations into English for you to ponder upon: ‘In case of SLI-80HS the upgrade route works, even if the amp is a well-established ‘classic’ product… Sonically the result manifests itself in a clearer presentation and better control in the bass regions. Midrange gained in clarity and the details were complimentary to the musical performance and presentation’. In his verdict, Pan Gołębiewski mentions that he will have fond memories of …Read More

Cary Audio customer, Doug, wrote an amazing review on the CAD-300SEI integrated amplifier.  “Greetings Cary Team! My CAD-300SEI was delivered just over five months ago now and was immediately installed in my main system where it is fed by a Jay’s Audio CD transport/Denafrips Pontus 2 DAC/Decware CSP325 preamp combo, and where it drives Pure Audio Project Quintet speakers. It has played an average of two hours per day throughout the five months and has provided roughly 300 hours of music.   So how does the system sound? It produces incredibly beautiful and lifelike music. The CAD-300SEI amp is very powerful, very fast, very detailed, …Read More

Comments Off on All tube amp/preamp combination makes dreams come true for YELLOWBOX in Greece

A new review of Cary Audio SLP-98P paired with CAD-120S have just been published in a Greek YELLOWBOX magazine, aptly titled an ‘American Dream’. The review is online (in Greek) and what it is all about!? The glory of tube sound, of course. SLP-98P is a phono preamp which have been in production for more than 20 years and CAD-120S stereop power amp is a perfect match to the preamp if one seeks a high powered drive-diverse tube amp combo. Loosely translated the reviews goes along those lines: In both Ultralinear (120W) and triode (60W) modes Cary CAD-120 can drive …Read More
