Up for sale is a one-owner Cary Audio Designs SLP-05 tube based, two piece preamp with remote control. 

We have the original (2) double-boxes for safe shipping, one set for the preamp and the second for the power supply.

The preamp is in very clean condition with just a very mild, hairline scratch along the top of the power supply (can probably get rubbed out with a very mild polish) and there is a small blemish in the finish on the top of the preamp. This looks like it simply came that way as it seems to be in the paint.

It seems to me the action on the power supply's large power switch seems a little stiff, maybe it's just me.  I also noted that the meters on the power supply are rather subtle.  That is to say that when they light up, they are not as intense as the blue indicator lights. I'm thinking that this must be the way they are as you wouldn't want them lighting up the room. They DO light up but again, it's subtle. 

This preamp ships in TWO boxes of the same size and weight. If you try to use the A'gon calculator it will be WRONG!  Please feel free to contact me directly for shipping quotes.

5) a pair of Hifi Tuning fuses

6) an extra remote control (really just for volume and mute though it has additional keys as well.
