cary sli-30 inside detail 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
