PRODUCT OVERVIEW
After ten years of continuous production we are proud to offer the CAD 805 Anniversary Edition.
Each unit is designed for long term stability in virtually any home operating situation. Note that if
the unit is operated outside the parameters outlined in this owner’s manual, damage may result.
Please read this manual carefully before operating your new CAD 805 AE power amplifiers.
The CAD 805 Anniversary Edition offers 50 watts per channel, Pure Class A Single Ended Triode
Mono Blocks with dual 6SN7 input stage, 300B driver stage tube, includes both 845 and 211
output tubes. It offers a user selector switch for the output tube, a Jaguar Anthracite black
chassis and top plate with clear coat finish, and an anodized aluminum front panel with a ZERO
feedback design.
The 805 is a 300SE with an afterburner. The 805 has been through many versions through the
years, improving on what already proved to be an outstanding power amplifier. The new design
for the Anniversary Edition came about with the goal to take those years of practical field
experience, and put everything in the kitchen sink- including the ability to switch from the 211
(output) tube to the 845 (output) tube.
UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION
This section describes the unpacking and installation procedures for your new component.
Unpacking
All Cary Audio Design shipping cartons have been specially designed to protect their contents and
special care has been taken to prevent damage under normal shipping conditions. Mishandling

photographs and contact the transport carrier immediately.
Carefully remove your new component from its packing carton and examine it closely for signs of
