High End Vacuum Tube Power Amplifier (Mono Blocks)
Brand: Cary Audio
The Cary Audio CAD-211 Founders Edition is a benchmark in the world of high-end valve amplifiers — a powerful and refined monoblock that delivers the musical soul of directly heated triodes with the commanding presence of a class A power amplifier.
Built around dual 845 output tubes per channel, this exceptional 845 valve amplifier delivers 70 watts of pure Class A triode power and up to 150 watts in Class AB. Unlike many tube designs, it maintains effortless control even with demanding speakers — making it one of the best valve amplifiers available today for both sensitivity and scale.
Zero global feedback, hand-matched components, and custom transformers allow the CAD-211 FE to preserve every subtle musical nuance. The result is breathtaking: dimensional soundstaging, exquisite detail, and natural harmonic richness — qualities that define the very best of valve amplifier design.
A rare combination of warmth, authority, and finesse — the CAD-211 FE is a true high-end valve amplifier that redefines what a triode-based design can achieve. With the magic of 845 tubes and the power to drive virtually any speaker, it offers the best of both worlds for serious audiophiles.
Balanced and unbalanced inputs provide system flexibility, while selectable 4, 8, and 16-ohm speaker taps ensure ideal integration. A front-panel bias meter and manual adjustment allow the listener to fine-tune performance and maximize tube longevity.
Handcrafted in the USA with Mundorf, Cardas, and Vishay parts, the CAD-211 FE is not just an amplifier — it’s an heirloom instrument for serious music lovers.
