Preamplifiers

Cary Audio's line preamplifiers, featuring valve design. Some models include a phono stage or are available in versions with and without phono, thus also appearing in the Phono category; others incorporate a dedicated headphone stage.

The line control is the command centre of the system: the stage where Cary Audio meticulously preserves the character of the signal before amplification.

What is this family?

The line preamplifier serves as the command centre of the system: it selects the source, adjusts the volume, and defines the character of the signal before it reaches the power stage. Cary Audio preamplifiers are valve-based; some include a phono stage, while others feature a dedicated headphone stage.
