Cary slp98p questions


Does anyone knows if it is ac coupled or dc coupled ?

Also cary slp98 owners are you happy functioning this preamp in generall ?
128x128kops
I want it ac coupled.

eflldf3@earthlink.net , which are the parts of your system ??
also what is your preamp for your better system ?
Currently I have SLP-98P in a Cary V-12R, Cary CD-308T, Cary Silver Oak III and VPI Scoutmaster/Grado Reference system. It is the star of the system and the best money I spent.

Mine is not DC coupled. I listened to one that was. It changed it, I liked the regular one better. I found more of difference when I changed tubes than the coupling!
I also own the SLP98 (linestage). What a great sounding piece of equipment. It came with the Cary's upgraded oil caps, which I thought sounded below average. I replace them with Hovlands - "WOW" - they took the Cary to a higher quality sounding preamp that I could never imagine.

Hats off to Dennis Had and his company with their superior sounding equipment.
Anyone knows how much the Cary slp-98 goes for in the used market? 8/10 or better.
Thanks
George
