Smp Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 (edited) Item: Audio Electronic Supply AE3 pre-amplifier - by Cary Audio, with an additional option of a matched pair of NOS RCA 5692s (unused) Location: Perth Price:$700.00, plus freight/insurance or $950.00 plus freight/insurance including the RCA 5692s Item condition: Excellent - no scratches, dents or other blemishes Reason for selling: Surplus to requirements Payment method: Pick up - cash, bank transfer Extra info: Audio Electronic Supply is a subsidiary of Cary Audio. Cary Audio designed and built a range of tube pre-amps and amplifiers which did not come with the bells and whistles of the Cary range - the chassis and control knobs were not as fancy but the design, build quality and parts were excellent - Dennis Had (now retired) of Cary Audio/AES did the designing. These designs could be purchased as kits as well. This AE3 is factory assembled and purchased from the Audiophile in Melbourne. Upgrade kits could be purchased from Cary - I upgraded with the two oil filled coupling capacitors (I think they were Jensens,but would have to delve into the unit to confirm this). The unit comes with two new Chinese 6SN7s. The NOS RCA 5692s were purchased from Cary (US$200) This is a great linestage and is dead quiet in operation. Comes in original packaging.
