The advertising from Cary, when the SLI-30 came out (ca. 1993). | ||
The SLI-30 is not an optical design master piece, but it's a wonderful sounding amp. | ||
It seems there was a black edition too. | ||
Or is this a custom version? The pictures from the black version are from a french audio forum. | ||
Inside view of a SLI-30 equipped with La Radiotechnique E84L output tubes (7320, Siemens Halske made) and a pair of Sylvania 12AD7 input tubes on the left. It is also possible to plug 7189 output tubes into this amplifier, which gives about 4W more power per channel. A comparison of the different output tubes can be found on oldtube.com |
||
The 7320 are slightly longer than standard EL84, so the cover needs to be lifted a few milimeters. Ok, this can't be seen on the picture, but it's worth mentioning. | ||
There was also a preamplifier SLP-30 in a similar housing. |
