Stereophile review by Art
Dudley February 2004 

I wouldn't hesitate for a
second to describe the Cary SLP-98P
as sounding like a tubed preamp, notwithstanding such stereotypically
untubey characteristics as the Cary's
clear (if pleasantly full) lower octaves and overall excellent rhythm and
pacing. With all sources, the musical colors passed by the SLP-98P sounded rich
to me—not at all lacking in air or believable treble sparkle, but nonetheless
distinctly velvety throughout the mids. I mean that in a positive
way, of course: a compliment in this wayward age of needlessly complex hybrid
circuits that, often as not, make pianos sound like trash compactors and voices
like alarms
.
