Excellent condition Cary CPA1 preamplifier. Balanced inputs and outputs, dual mono design, HT bypass, built like a tank. This piece has been in my system for a while and it's the best sounding solid-state preamp I've ever owned. You literally get the Cary "tube sound" without the tubes. Amazing piece of equipment that will squash anything near this price range.
Original packing materials, box, manual, and remote control included. Very conservatively rated at a Solid 8/10.
Price is $750 for all Polk Forum members with at least 100 posts. Price is $850 for anyone else. Shipping price is included in my asking price. PayPal gift preferred. Please add 3.5% for non-PayPal gift payments.

Tom~ In search of accurate reproduction of music. Real sound is my reference and while perfection may not be attainable? If I chase it, I might just catch excellence. ~ -

Well, according to the timeline...you were only only "indisposed" for 5 minutes. Quit watching P O R N on the porcelain God and next time? You may be golden....more so than what you think your phone offers you.
It happens....(Just think....Russ looks up sheep and dreams the like dreams...so you are WELL above the norm)

This unit is back up for sale. Just like the last Cary I tried in my rig, the synergy just is not there. There has got to be something about Cary gear that simply does not work in my rig.
I will honor the same price I got it for. Located near Charlotte, NC. I also travel down to the Greenville, SC area pretty often and would be willing to meet up for a hand off.

Id probably start a new thread with fresh pics- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.

I will. Don't have time tonight. That thing called "work"....

Tom, just send it here and start your own Midwestern warehouse like @lightman1"Some people find it easier to be conceited rather than correct."
