The Cary CAD 211 is a top—of-the-line tube Hi-End power amplifier. Built using zero feedback technology, the CAD 211 provides 110 watts of output in Class A/B mode and 70 watts in Class A mode.
The input stage is made on a pair of 6SN7 dual triodes: first, the signal passes through the input stage on a dual triode with resistor connections operating in parallel mode, and then enters the anode circuit built on the second lamp.
