Cary Audio is one of the most respected manufacturers of Hi-Fi and High-End electronics from the United States of America.  Cary Audio Design began its activities in 1989. Its founders are husband and wife Dennis Head and Donna, who decided to open the company right at the dinner table. It is worth noting that from the age of seven, Dennis had a passion for electronics – then he and his friends began designing various types of tube amplifiers in order to find out which one would have the best sound.

And while still a schoolboy, in 1957, Dennis received a blue ribbon for an amplifier he made himself. If not for this incident, who knows what profession this brilliant boy would have chosen. Thus, a youthful hobby from designing amplifiers grew into a profession and the work of a lifetime. He spent a lot of time studying the products and components of the leading companies at that time, and as a result, only in 1989 he decided to do his own thing, founding the company Cary Audio Design.

Cary Audio Design originally occupied 800 square feet of space in a small industrial area of ​​Cary, South Carolina. The first products released under the company’s name were the 100-watt monoblock amplifier CAD 100 and the passive linear preamplifier PD-1. And with only two models in hand, Dennis Head was able to organize a full-scale marketing campaign for his products in Stereophile magazine. The success of Cary Audio Design was determined by the Winter Consumer Electronics Show in 1990.

After the successful exhibition, sales began to grow constantly, resulting in a need for highly qualified personnel. Soon another enthusiast, Billy Wright, joins Dennis’ team. Since he was a competent financier, he took under his leadership the part of production that was most familiar to him, and placed the “creative” part at the complete disposal of Dennis Head. The talents of these two geniuses completely complemented each other, and the result was not long in coming – very soon Cary Audio rose to a completely new level in the Hi-End industry. Due to increased production and a catastrophic shortage of territory, in 1991 the company acquired another 800 square feet of land, but this turned out to be insufficient, and in subsequent years it expanded and expanded. So from 1992 to 2002, its territory increased from 5,400 square feet to 10 thousand.
