Cary for hybrid digital + vinyl systems

Combine the DMS platform, DMC centre, and Cary phono stages.

Many systems combine streaming and vinyl. Cary Audio provides components for both paths without a single "hub" to merge them.

Digital path: DMS-650/700/800 PV or DMS-300A. Wired CD/files path: DMC-600SE. Vinyl path: VT-500 (MM/MC) or SLP-98P (MM).

Initial setup (according to official documentation)

  1. Switch sources from the line preamplifier (SLP-05 or SLP-98L).
  2. The VT-500 requires a downstream line preamplifier; it does not replace the SLP-05.
  3. DMC-600SE and DMS do not share a platform: they are independent sources.
