Page 3: Important Safety Instructions
If water or any metal object (such as a paper clip, coin, or staple) accidentally falls inside the unit, disconnect it from the AC power source immediately and contact Cary Audio Design for further instructions. HEAT: Position the unit away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other units (including amplifiers) that produce heat. - Page 4 (preferably unplugging them from the AC power source). Many audio components feature automatic turn-on circuits that may activate during an installation, potentially causing damage to electronic components and/or speakers. This type of damage is not covered by product warranties, and Cary Audio specifically disclaims responsibility for any such damage.

WELCOME CIRCUITRY The SLP 05 is a no compromise line stage and headphone amp. The power supply is vacuum tube rectified and has a 5AR4 vacuum tube rectifier lying on its side inside the unit. The 5AR4 tube has a separate cathode from the filament so any position of mounting is proper. It was horizontally mounted to keep the power supply the same height as the preamplifier. -
