Is the Cary SLP-05 still relavant?


Given the history and reviews of this preamp with its ability for tube rolling and its "Ultimate" upgradeability, Where does it stand as a premium offering vs something like the PS Audio BHK? Is it still relevant? It still gets sporadic press, but has fallen out from Stereophile recommended equipment list.

@ebm does specialize in brevity, aye.

@cvman be a peach and fix the typo in the heading. 

@hk_fan a volume-only remote is my favorite kind of remote. Bought my Eastern Electric MiniMax integrated for that reason. Glad I did as the amp is fun & punchy to boot. My Schiit Freya rc has a few more, eg to cycle through the 3 gains, a mute, and sources. Stop me when this gets too exciting.

Even more off topic, best preamps you’ve never heard (of): van Alstine.

I just looked up the SLP-05 and it looks amazing. Anyone reading this looking to deal theirs....
