I have a pair of these solid state power amps for sale.
They are in great condition and newly serviced by Cloney Audio. They have a small amount of transformer buzz which is inaudible through speakers and only audible when no music is playing.
These have been demoed and up against much more expensive amplifiers and matched if not outperformed them on state of the art speakers. They play with amazing authority and fantastic deep sound stage with a sound leaning toward warm and neutral.
Feel free to ask for more info or photos. Comes in original packaging and manuals.
Age: app. 15 years old.
Home demo welcome. They are in Bray.
Price: 2000 euro
Include Ayre K-5XE Preamplifier (see my other ad) for fully balanced pre-power setup: 3300 euro
FS: Cary Audio CAD500MB only €1600

Re: Cary Audio CAD500MB mono blocks
That's a lot of amp for the money, Claus. I remember with much fondness the evening you brought them over and they showed the Elipsas who was boss! They certainly sang that night.
Good luck with the sale.
