About the SLP-98 Preamplifier

For over 20 years, Cary Audio’s SLP-98 preamplifier and its predecessors have delivered unparalleled musical satisfaction. Hand-built and hand-wired in North Carolina, the SLP-98 continues to set the standard for precision audio reproduction. Utilizing matched tubes and zero feedback, it ensures the most accurate and natural musical presentation.

To maintain pristine sound quality, the SLP-98 features an external power supply, similar to its flagship counterpart, the SLP-05. This design minimizes high-voltage electrical noise, preserving the integrity of delicate musical signals.

With five inputs, the SLP-98 effortlessly handles even the most elaborate audio systems, while the included remote control adds a layer of convenience. For vinyl enthusiasts, an optional built-in phono stage for MM cartridges (SLP-98P) is available, offering exceptional performance and versatility. Prefer a line-stage model? The SLP-98L has you covered.

No matter your source—vinyl records, tapes, CDs, or today’s cutting-edge digital formats—the SLP-98 unlocks a level of performance you never thought possible.
