Cary Audio Design SLP-88 Preamplifier Operations Manual
- 2 -
Dear Audiophile Friend:
I would like to take this opportunity personally to thank you for buying your new Cary
Audio SLP-88 preamplifier. I have spent countless hours designing and voicing the SLP-
88. You will find many desirable features on your new preamplifier. The motorized
remote volume is certainly a stand out feature. The analogue signal is not deteriorated
with this method of remote volume control. The high performance motorized volume
potentiometer we use to control the analog input signal level is driven mechanically by a
DC motor. An inboard microprocessor directs this motor in the proper direction for
up or down volume level changes. All incoming signals are switched via gold plated
relays that are also DC voltage controlled. Another very cool feature of your new SLP-
88 is the earphone output. This is true single-ended triode sound accomplished with
output transformers to match earphones from 40 to 600 ohms. The best feature of the
SLP-88 is the sonic presentation. The 6SN7 triode tubes used in the SLP-88 are
considered by many as the absolute best sounding dual triode available. Please read the
instruction manual so you are familiar with the operation of your new “Special Line
Stage 88.”
Thank you once again for your interest and continued support of Cary Audio Design.
