I would disagree. I've owned Cary amps and cd players and I've never had a moment of trouble with any piece of equipment. I would take the comments of any former Cary dealer with a large grain of salt, who knows what axe they may have to grind. I think you'd be thrilled with Cary gear for the office or anywhere else. Good luck!
Reliability of Cary Audio Products
I'm considering adding a second (all tube) system for my home office. Amongst the integrated amps that are being considered is the Cary SLI 80. A friend, who is also a long term retailer of audio products, suggested that Cary has a poor reliability record. He hasn't sold Cary for a long while, and from what I've read on Audiogon, he may be out of touch with Cary products. Comments from Cary owners would be appreciated.
