Thank you all that took the time to respond... I think I have an idea of worth from your responses. I may end up with one of them and sell the other one for my friend...Once again thanks all.
Help for a Lo-Fi guy
I have 2 Cary CAD-300-SEI integrated amps I am trying to help a friend of mine get some info on. Her husband passed away, and left these along with some other tube amps . I have done some research online and discovered that these are 15watt tube amps that are best used with efficient speakers , or possibly as headphone amps. I am trying to determine , desirability, possible used price etc. My experience in the audio world is very limited. I am using old Yamaha separates (M85 amp,C80 pre amp) that I`ve had for decades, so any help would be greatly appreciated.....Thx

I was a Cary dealer years ago and this is a nice unit, however you need efficient speakers for best results. I think a fair price for these is in the $1500.00 - $1700.00 range and maybe have them checked out by a tech to see if everything is ok. They might also benefit from a capacitor upgrade. BTW: Your Yamaha M85 has sold for $600.00 - $880.00 shipped and the C80 sold for $200.00 - $500.00 shipped. |
I own a CAD 300SEI. Purchased new 4 years ago for $5K+ with all the options. You could contact Billy Wright CEO at Cary and provide the serial numbers. He will tell you the age and what options are included billy@caryaudio.com which should allow you to put a price on the units. I love this little unit. I run it with Western Electric 300Bs into Klipsch Belles, Zu Dirty Weekends and Sennheiser headphones. It’s a keeper!
