My foray into tube land has come to an end. Not because it isn't the best sounding amp I have ever owned, but because I am lazy. I do not want to check bias, I do not want to bias nor do I want to leave my console doors open when I use the amp. Open console doors pose a problem with 2 Goldendoodles running around like madmen.
This was purchased new from Cary Direct April 1, 2020. It comes with the upgraded Greyhill Switch and the Hexfred Rectifiers. It has very low hours. It comes with the original box, remote and invoice. I will also throw in the Cary Audio MA-300 Bias Meter ($110 value)
From Cary Direct's website:
The SLI-100 integrated stereo amplifier operates in a Class AB1 mode utilizing a negative fixed bias supply. The KT150 output tubes are configured in push-pull and yield 100 watts/channel of output power. The output transformers in the SLI-100 are the most important component in the amplifier and have been specifically designed by Cary Audio for use in the SLI-100. Negative feedback is derived from the 8 ohm tap on the output transformer secondary. This feedback circuitry is used to reduce the noise floor and improve the speaker damping characteristics. Only 4 dB of feedback is utilized. The phase inverter is a self-balancing split load configuration utilizing the 6SN7 octal base dual triode. The preamplifier circuit is a Series Regulated Push-Pull (SRPP) Class A triode voltage amplification stage direct coupled to the phase inverter. The power supply in the SLI-100 features a 200% duty cycle EI laminate power transformer.Asking
