Default Anyone else have a Cary SLA-30?

I've only seen a handful of these over the years. Cary made a 30 wpc power amp back in the 1990s based upon EL84 output tubes. Uses 4 per channel in a push pull design.

I don't think Dennis Had was a big fan of it. I wrote him twice over the years, he wrote back once, saying nothing about the amp.

They also released it in an integrated amp model, named the SLI-30.

I've owned mine for nearly 20 years but have used it only sporadically. I do like it, it certainly has a very warm, tubey sound. Maybe not the most detailed, articulate amp in my stable. Enjoy listening to blues and jazz through it.
