WELCOME PRODUCT OVERVIEW We at Cary Audio Design would like to thank you for purchasing the new SLP 05 preamplifier. The following is an overview of the design characteristics of the SLP 05. The SLP 05 employs a fully balanced circuit topology, from input-to-output, that actively cancels external electrical and radio frequency noise picked up by audio cables. The sonic result is a greatly improved signal-to-noise level ratio with palpable, three-dimensional images of instrume

WELCOME CIRCUITRY The SLP 05 is a no compromise line stage and headphone amp. The power supply is vacuum tube rectified and has a 5AR4 vacuum tube rectifier lying on its side inside the unit. The 5AR4 tube has a separate cathode from the filament so any position of mounting is proper. It was horizontally mounted to keep the power supply the same height as the preamplifier. The rectifier tube provides the high-voltage (B+) plate voltage. Two separate filter chokes and a fully regula

CONTROLS REMOTE CONTROL The SLP 05 remote control included with the SLP 05 is designed to function with several of our products. For use with the SLP 05, only the “Volume” and “Mute” buttons on the bottom of the remote will be used. If you have a CD-500 disc player, many of the other remote functions will be used to control its operation. It will also function with any of our other remote controlled preamplifiers, integrated amplifiers, and all products from the Concept line.

OPERATION BASIC OPERATION The operation of your new SLP 05 is straight forward and not complicated. You may wish to stack the preamplifier on top of the matching power supply. Indentations on the top panel of the SLP 05 power supply will accommodate this set up. You certainly may separate the two units as well. The multi-conductor power cable is 6 foot in length to allow a separate location of the power supply. Operation can start after all interconnects and power cables have b
