Herman....insofar as your analysis is true, it would have to apply to your own comments, thus making them "close to worthless" (to use your own words). Only a very small number of actual audiophiles will reply to any given post, including the Cary post, therefore......
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.
