FOR SALE a pair of Cary Audio CAD 500 MB SOLID STATE MONO BLOCKS IN GOOD SHAPE. These are very powerful amplifiers with outstanding musicality. These are effective in driving the most demanding speakers as well as efficient ones. They are well rounded amplifiers that will enable any music to sound its best. They also run relatively cool in comparison to many tubes amplifiers which makes them ideal for long listening and around family. Some prefer these amps to Cary's latest version of the similar monoblocks due to affordability and overall musical reproduction. The new versions of these mono-block retail for $10,000. It makes one wonder why not buy these for a fraction of the price for arguably better performance. These are truly outstanding for the value and performance. Here is what the review from 10audio site says about this amp "The 500MB combines the resolution, harmonic completeness, and warmth of tubes with the bass control, dynamic power, and high frequency extension that have been province of solid-state. I will have more to add to this review in the very near future, but for now let me summarize with the following statement: The Cary 500MB is the realization of the long-standing dream to combine the best of solid-state and tube sounds. These amplifiers should work spectacularly well in any high-quality sound system. They are my new reference.
