Offered is „Cad 805 Anniversary Edition“ by Cary Audio Design as second-hand device from the category „Tube-Fullamp“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 2307855123 ends on 24.11.2026 at 09:28 o'clock.
Ambitious. At €8,500, this sits well above the median used level of €4,908 and even clears the 75th percentile at €6,994, so it’s asking top-of-market money rather than a casual bargain.
That said, this is a seriously respected single-ended monoblock and the Anniversary Edition has real cachet; when healthy, it’s prized for spacious, harmonically rich mids, scale, and effortless power with the right speakers. The upside here is in rarity and audiophile pedigree, but at this price the buyer should want a very clean, complete set with known service history, matching pair, and confidence that the output stage and power supply are in good shape.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Cary Audio was founded in 1989 by Dennis Had in Cary, North Carolina, emerging from humble beginnings on his dining room table where he crafted his first vacuum tube projects. Driven by a passion to restore emotional depth to home music reproduction, the company quickly gained notice with icons like the CAD-300SE single-ended triode amplifier. After Billy Wright joined in 1992 and acquired full ownership in 2009 upon Had's retirement, Cary Audio evolved into a privately held American manufacturer, operating from a 10,000-square-foot facility in Raleigh with 21 dedicated employees handcrafting high-performance gear.
The brand specializes in premium amplification, spanning vacuum tube and solid-state designs, alongside digital components such as network streamers, DACs, and headphone amplifiers. While rooted in tube heritage, Cary has expanded into home theater processors and state-of-the-art digital music centers, prioritizing top-tier components for exceptional musicality across categories. Speakers, turntables, and cables remain outside their core focus, emphasizing instead amplification and source components that deliver transformative sound.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Cary Audio commands respect among discerning audiophiles for its reliable, value-driven products that blend superior engineering with lasting performance. As a boutique American outlier in a global field, it appeals to buyers seeking hand-built excellence at real-world prices, backed by unwavering customer service and a legacy of innovation since its inception.
