Since Dennis Had left Cary has the company built any new tube equipment?


I always thought of Cary audio as an excellent builder of tube based gear. But looking at the website nothing seems new on that end. Looks like they are concentrating more on digital. Is everything still produced in the USA or is the digital product built overseas? Always thought Had's tube gear was among the best.

Cary took a hit a few years ago when they went into HT. The processor got excellent reviews for SQ but was very unreliable. Lots of complaints and angry customers. The newer products look interesting but it seems Cary has moved away from it's initial vision when Dennis left.
Cary lost all of it's soul when Dennis left.  Now it's just another company slinging "me too" products IMO.  It's really sad, but the current trend it seems.
I don't know if Dennis has publicly stated it but it seems he's happy to make his own products w/out going through company politics and bean counters. I really have not seen any exciting new products from Cary since he left.

Dennis does seem happy…his current business model, other than the well regarded Dragon Inspire headphone amps he makes for Moon Audio, is interesting. He makes what he feels like making for his fans (who seem to be able to get Had to make preamps and other models that don't make it to Ebay), he cranks out his Inspire SEP stuff seemingly randomly and sticks 'em on Ebay with no stats, ratings, warranty procedures, or descriptions other than what's contained in his classic enthusiastic (and sometimes misspelled) product promotional rants accompanying his listings. All the Ebay stuff he lists seems to last one or two days as it's clearly somewhat underpriced for what it is. Refreshing.
@linnlingo. generally agreed on unexciting new gear from Cary.  The DMS500 looks pretty interesting in its capabilities, although more and more similar items are coming out fairly briskly.  While unexciting, I think some of the products are good and competitive at the street prices.  BUT, I think it would be VERY cool for them (if they can) to re-issue some older Dennis Had designs like the V12, 2A3, etc.

@wolf_garcia He also occasionally puts stuff up for no reserve auction.  Followed a couple 2A3 SETs that got fast and furious in the last few minutes, even with spelling errors in the description.  Ended up getting one on A-gon.  Looks like he makes speakers, too, but I've never seen one listed or for sale.
