About the SLP-03
The Cary Audio Design SLP-03 is a stereo vacuum tube line-level preamplifier using four 12AU7 dual-triode tubes in a Class A, zero-feedback circuit with fully balanced signal topology and dual-mono architecture. It provides six single-ended RCA inputs plus one balanced XLR input, cinema bypass and tape loop, along with one pair of balanced XLR and two pairs of single-ended RCA outputs for flexible system integration. The SLP-03 features separate left/right analog gain stages and independently regulated power supplies for the audio circuitry, control logic, and display, contributing to low noise and strong channel separation. User conveniences include remote control, home-theater bypass, an RS-232 control port, and a front-panel headphone output derived from the tube audio stage. Known for its smooth, warm yet transparent presentation and wide soundstage, it delivers a rich, musical tonality typical of classic tube designs.
