Cary SLP-98 tape out question
Same on a lot of the analog systems. I'm sure the old Macs, Fisher, D Pass, HHScott, Marantz, most if not all were that way. As long as there is NOT a relay requiring current to complete a circuit.. N.O. relay is normally open right.. The switch c... 
Cary SLP-98 tape out question
Are you saying the source plays through your Cary to an another integrated amp AND you don't have to turn the Cary on? You just push or flip the switch and the integrated get the signal?Sure, on a pure analog system "the loop" should work that way... 
First tube preamp recommendations (under $5k)
audioman58, I’ve heard the exact amp you speaking of. Balanced and none balanced. BOTH were sent back in leu of Cary’s preamps. Actually my C20s or 2500 have better SQ. I’d compare it to an older C220, but not the SQ of a C2200, 2300, 2500, or 260...

He is back on his meds Master M.. That’s where he’s at.. Watch he will reappear with a whole new Y’all or some slight change..Persistent prick if nothing else.. He has to have appeared at least 8-10 different times..Ya got the "Psycho" part right.... 
Build a wooden crate or use a cardboard box for Amplifier.
You can also use expanding packs. Get a heavy double or triple thick cardboard box with at least 2-3 inches all the way around. Make it if need be. Just cut down from a HEAVY Refer box or something like that.Use reinforced fiberglass tape to hold ... 
The best $99 system upgrade ever!
I'm with MC in a way. I never took them out through the day for 40 plus years. I drove home with ear plugs BEFORE service trucks HAD AC and never stopped the practice..It would ruin a listen session driving home in 100 degree heat. With only a win... 
The best $99 system upgrade ever!
