Experience the legendary Cary Audio sound with the CAD-300SEI — a masterpiece of Single-Ended Triode (SET) tube amplification. Designed for those who demand purity and realism, this amplifier operates in pure Class A, using a single 300B power tube per channel to reproduce music with extraordinary warmth, detail, and harmonic richness. While modest in power output at 15 watts per channel, its sonic performance surpasses many higher-powered designs, especially when paired with efficient loudspeakers.

Every note emerges from an exceptionally quiet background, allowing the smallest nuances and spatial cues to shine through with lifelike clarity. The CAD-300SEI’s handcrafted construction ensures superior channel balance, transparency, and musical engagement, turning every listening session into a deeply emotional experience. Its ability to reveal subtle timbral differences — from a Stradivarius violin to a Fender guitar — demonstrates the true art of tube engineering.

Discover the timeless beauty of SET amplification with the CAD-300SEI. Available through MGY OÜ, the official distributor of Cary Audio in the European Union.

What our Clients Say about CAD-300SEI

“The CAD-300 is designed by true music enthusiasts. While it doesn’t offer immense power, it will rekindle your love for music, no matter the genre. I wholeheartedly recommend this amplifier, particularly for those fortunate enough to own high-quality open-back headphones.”

Tube enthusiasts have long been aware that achieving the utmost realism and detail in audio amplification necessitates running an amplifier in Single-Ended Triode (SET) mode. This configuration enables a single power tube to handle both sides of every musical waveform, effectively eliminating the most fatiguing distortions. While it does result in lower output power, especially when paired with high-efficiency speakers played at reasonable volumes, the inherent simplicity of SET mode leads to unparalleled musical naturalness.

From distinguishing between a Steinway and a Bösendorfer piano to discerning a Stradivarius from a Guarneri or Amati violin, or even differentiating between a Fender and a Gibson guitar, the CAD-300SEI delivers a level of audio fidelity that reveals inner details within musical ensembles previously unheard. In this case, simplicity reigns supreme, as the CAD-300SEI stands as a testament to the philosophy that sometimes the simplest solution is indeed the best
