THANK YOU

Dear Cary Audio Customer:

I am so pleased and excited about the Cary Audio Design CAD 120S stereo vacuum tube power amplifier. I have spent countless hours designing and refining this very special vacuum tube power amplifier. The CAD 120S started life in September of 2006 as a 60 watt ultra-linear push pull amplifier. Billy Wright, my business partner, was concerned that we needed more output power for difficult loudspeaker loads. At this time, I had just completed the new Cary Audio SLP 03 preamplifier as well. Gregg Dunn, our Sales Director came to me in the lab with a suggestion. He suggested that a 120 watt per channel power amplifier made to match the new SLP 03 balanced vacuum tube preamplifier would be a nice combination. I thought this idea had merit and began percolating the design in my head.

In November of 2006, three months after the initial prototype, I had the cosmetic package complete. I needed to have this new baby on display at the January 2007 CES Show. During the CES Show it became evident we had a winner of a product. Countless people wanted to listen to the CAD 120S. The only problem was there was nothing inside. All the circuitry was in my head! My only response to the question of “How does it sound?”, was “You’re going to love it!”

I am once again an excited “design-boy” proudly displaying the CAD 120S, which went into full production in May 2007 at our “toy” shop in Apex, North Carolina. I can now answer the question: “How does it sound?” “Amazing, I love it, I love it!!!!!!”

Enjoy the music in your home with your CAD 120S and thank you for your support.

God Bless you and your family.

Dennis and the Cary Audio Team
