This preamp was bought new from Cary Direct November 2017 but wasn't used until after August 2018.  Played minimally and is being sold because we're empty nesters and are downsizing substantially.  The unit is in excellent condition.  Cary's entry-level preamplifier, the SL-100 offers outstanding performance far above what its price suggests. Like all Cary Audio products, the SL-100 punches way above its price point offering build and sound quality that exceeds even the highest of expectations. While the SL-100 is a solid state design, you’ll swear we hid tubes in there somewhere. Voiced to sound “tube like,” the SL-100 produces a lush midrange, sweet highs and solid bass response while always sounding warm and rich to just the perfect degree without losing any of the detail.
Inside you’ll find a dual mono design and circuit layout with two separate power supplies, one for each channel. Virtually unheard of at this price. To round out this highly capable preamplifier, it includes 5 inputs (4 RCA, 1 XLR) plus a Home Theater Bypass input and 3 sets of outputs (2 RCA, 1 XLR). As if this wasn’t enough, it also includes a full function IR remote control, adjustable front panel display, all housed in a gorgeous hefty 25 lbs. steel chassis with brushed aluminum face plate. For those who want style and simplicity without sacrificing performance, the SL-100 is a natural choice.
