Reliability of Cary Audio Products

I have mostly cary products and have not had any issues, not to discount your issue by the way.

I owned a Cary Cinema 6 AV Processor and i was dissapointed with the digital playback. Very poor. It seems like they have been making improvements on dvd players and ulti-channel power amps.

My Cary experience over many years is rock solid. No problems. 3 cd players and Cary SLI-80.

I recently purchased an SLP3 and a pair of Sixpacs from the Cary dealer in Oman. Fuses have blown regularly. The amp has been to the dealer a number of times for repair. Now a capacitor is on the blink, and a replacement has not been received for almost a month. Cary has been polite, but my equipment has sat in the dealer's workshop for most of the time since the purchase. I have asked for the Sixpacs to be replaced, but I have been informed that they have been discontinued. The dealer has given me a Superamp in the interim, but that is not what I paid for. I have not listened to music to my satisfaction since I purchased the Cary products. My personal experience is at odds with most of the comments here. Reliability issues remain.

Here is my feedback (all Cary system here).

Cary CD306: problems with the CD tray. Would get intermittently stuck, or worse, "eat" some discs (i.e. tray would eject leaving the disc stuck in the transport). Fixed under warranty 3 years ago. Never recurred since.

Cary SLP-05 preamp: Bought from dealer in Australia (240V). Multiple problems with blown fuses and dead indicator lights. Discovered that resistor specified by Cary is good for 220V. Replaced under warranty. Preamp works flawlessly, but indicator lights keep blowing. Have given up replacing indicator lights.

Cary CAD-805AE: 2 years of flawless, faithful service before being replaced by CAD-211AE.

Cary CAD-211AE: Flawless service to date.
