Recent Events-
Due to COVID-19 and increasing costs for everything from raw materials to shipping, the McGary Audio SA 1 and SA 2 Vacuum Tube Amplifiers will be increasing in cost for calendar year 2021. All current inventory of tube amplifiers will sell at current advertised prices (…which we have maintained for over two years). Furthermore, both the SA 1 and SA 2 amplifiers will be discontinued, and the improved SA 1E and SA 2E will replace the current lineup of vacuum tube amps. Please stay abreast of the upcoming lineup of new products (i.e., SPA 1) in development…we’ll be posting these together with new information soon on our website!
Authorized Dealers for McGary Audio Products have now been added…please visit the Dealers page for more information. Welcome Authorized Dealers to the McGary Audio Family!
