Welcome, Thank YOU | Cary Audio Design Xciter instruction

WELCOME

THANK YOU

Dear Cary Audio Customer:

I am so pleased and excited about the new Cary Audio Design Xciter, stereo vacuum tube integrated amplifier. I have spent countless hours designing and refining this very special vacuum tube amplifier. The Xciter started life in April of 2008 as a companion to a new digital to analog USB converter I was designing. I had recently discovered the merits of computer full bandwidth audio. In fact I found my self watching DVD’s on the computer and using the new Xciter amplifier and a pair of C4 Dynaudio loudspeakers in my listening room. In my lab I found myself listening to the Xciter amplifier with the amazing Grado GS-1000 headphones. What a neat combination. I thought this combo had merit and began percolating the final designs in my in my head. Then to the drawing board.

In October, six months after the initial prototype I had the cosmetic package complete. I needed to have these new babies on display at the January 2009 CES Show.

Well it is now December of 2008 and I am once again an excited “design-boy” watching the new Xciter integrated amplifiers go down the Apex, North Carolina, Cary “toy” shop production line. The companion Xciter DAC will come into production in February of 2009. I can now answer the question: “How does it sound?” “Amazing, I love it, I love it!!!!!!”

Enjoy the music in your home, or office with your new Xciter integrated amplifier and thank you for your support.

God Bless you and your family.

Dennis and the Cary Audio Team
