WELCOME
THANK YOU
Dear Customer:
We would like to thank you for your decision to buy a SLP 03 vacuum tube preamplifier. The SLP
03 combines the desirable attributes of low noise, low distortion and ease of use making it an
excellent preamplifier choice for your home audio system. This stereo vacuum tube preamplifier
offers one XLR balanced input pair and six pairs of RCA single-ended inputs making it a very
capable preamplifier. The adjustable brightness front panel display shows the current settings
and volume levels during use. The SLP 03, when combined with a power amplifier is capable of
outstanding musical reproduction using your favorite music.
Thank you for your support and enjoy the music!
The Cary Audio Team
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The new Cary Audio Design SLP 03 preamplifier is a blend of digital computer technology and
pure vacuum tube, analog discrete circuitry. The SLP 03 consists of actually four (4) analog, 16
dB, line gain stages. Two separate gain stages are used for each of the two channels. One gain
stage amplifies the positive phase (+180 degree) and the other gain stage amplifies the negative
phase (-180 degree). Two stages for each channel equal the four active line circuits. All audio
path signals are amplified through 12AU7 vacuum tubes in a class A zero feedback circuit.
The front panel display is a Noritake vacuum florescent display with a blue lens in front. The
display receives and displays the critical control functions from a Motorola CPU incorporated
inside the Cary Audio SLP 03 preamplifier. The Motorola processor is the controller for all
functions of the preamplifier.
Back to the analog side of things, there are a total of eight (8) fully regulated power supplies in
the SLP 03 preamplifier. Separate supplies for each channel’s analog circuit along with multiple
power supplies for the Alphanumeric, Noritake display, along with dual supplies for the Motorola
processor. To power the fully regulated power supplies the SLP 03 has two individual R-Core
shielded power transformers. Dual power transformers, along with separate left and right
supplies, make the SLP 03 a true dual mono preamplifier. In fact, the channel separation is in
excess of 80 dB. This amount of channel independence is a major engineering design
breakthrough in vacuum tune designs.
A word about cinema-bypass is in order. We have discovered with previous Cary Audio
preamplifier designs, when incorporating the cinema bypass, that on occasion the user would
forget that the system surround processor inputting to the preamp could be a very high level.
Thus when the preamplifier power switch is placed in the off position, the default would be a
feed through of the processor signal and could blast the left and right channel loudspeakers. In
the SLP 03 the cinema-bypass only functions when the SLP 03 is powered up with the volume
gain setting set at number 47 on the display. The reading of 47 is unity gain. It might be noted in
the SLP 03 one could have a single ended (RCA) processor input and through the SLP 03 have a
balanced output to the left and right channel amplifiers.
Operating the dual 12AU7 vacuum tubes in a current source configuration, true balanced output
is achieved with both single-ended (RCA) inputs or the balanced (XLR) input selection.

WELCOME
Considering the massive power transformers along with the multiple regulated supplies the SLP
03 will offer the ultimate sound reproduction when left on continuously 24/7. Tube life should be
on the order of three years in the continuous duty mode.
The SLP 03, when combined with a solid state or vacuum tube power amplifier is capable of
bringing outstanding musical reproduction into your home. The selected pair of dual triode
12AU7’s vacuum tubes per channel offers true balanced vacuum tube warmth and realism.
Convenience meets sound quality plus great industrial design in the Classic Series SLP 03
preamplifier.

OPERATION
Operating this component is a simple procedure. Each unit is designed for long term stability in
virtually any home operating situation. However, if the unit is operated outside the parameters
outlined in this owner's manual, damage may result. Please read this manual carefully before
putting your new unit into operation.
CONNECTIONS
Balanced Inputs:
Accepts right-channel and left-channel balanced signals from a
source component with balanced outputs.
Single-ended Inputs:
Balanced Main Outputs:
Single-ended Outputs:
Accepts right-channel and left-channel (single-ended) RCA
connection inputs from a source component.
These are for connection to the XLR input jacks of an accompanying
power amplifier or electronic crossover.
These are for connection to the RCA input jacks of an accompanying
power amplifier or electronic crossover.
CHECKING CONNECTIONS
1. Make sure that all the connections are proper by referring to the rear panel labels.
2. Check the directivity of stereo separation (right channel to right channel, left channel to left
channel).
3. Check the directivity of pin cord connection, if your patch cables are labeled for direction of
connection.
SWITCHING ON
POWER button
• Press once to turn the power ON.
• Press again to set to the OFF position and turn the power off. The SLP 03 will enter
into Standby and the blue LED will light.
SOURCE SELECT buttons
• Press once to select the desired input source.
VOLUME knob
• Turn the volume knob to the desired listening level.
BREAKING-IN
• The SLP 03 requires at least 100 hours of continuous operation after it is first turned
on to sound its best. This gives the materials in various circuit components a chance to
"form" so audio signals achieve greater definition, smoothness and transparency.
Although the unit will sound spectacular when you first operate it, it will improve in
sound quality as it completes the “burn in” of the vacuum tubes. This is normal for new
vacuum tubes. During the vacuum tube manufacturing process, the insides are coated
with special compounds designed to burn off with heat to finish making the vacuum
inside the tube. This is why the “burn in” process is necessary when using new tubes.
