That particular Cary appeals to me. I am also looking at McIntosh, another ARC, and a others. But I haven't heard the Cary and don't want to go thru considerable expense to try one out. I think there is some merit to a two box design. I think the power supply is a major ingredient in sound reproduction. McIntosh does the same in the 500 and 1000 series. I have tried a REF3 and the big difference between the LS26 is power supply. It is another level entirely form the LS26. I want unity gain and I don't believe Joule or Lamm offer that.
Cary SLP05 vs. Audio Research LS-26
Has anyone made the comparision between these two. I realize the Cary is 2K more than the LS26's price point. I do own an LS26, and like it but now I am thinking of something new. I don't have a dealer in my area that stocks any Cary gear to speak of. So I am not even familiar with the Cary house sound. Any shared experience with both brands would be helpfull.
