New Preamp Search is Back On

[Jack in Wilmington]

Well the guest bathroom is finished, so the preamp search is on. I have my eye on a Cary SLP-03 and have made on offer. Also looked at a BAT, CJ and Modwright. Cary had everything that I was looking for and the price was in my budget ($3000 max). Hopefully I'll get as lucky as Blackraven and Mr. P have with their recent purchases.

Offer has been excepted.

They don't sell this component.

Jack, what makes you buy that particular pre? Just curious.

It had the features that I was looking for like balanced connections, remote control, warm presentation. The balanced dual mono circuitry is a nice touch in a preamp in this price range.

It has a nice clean design and a silver face plate, which I prefer.

Thanks, Jack. I thought it was a blind purchase, that's why I ask.

It is blind in the sense that I haven't heard it. I'm going on reviews and the Cary name. I figure I can flip it if it doesn't have the warmth and transparency that I'm looking for.

Congrats Jack! I considered that preamp as well. I think it will be a winner.
