Simaudio I-5 vs. Cary SLI-80 integrated amps


Both are close in price. Both have similar build quality.
One tube....one solid state.....Pros and cons.
Please help me settle this integrated amp shootout.
Thanks fellow Audiogoner's.

can't speak for the Sim but i have owned SS separates that were 3 times the price & widely acclaimed which I enjoyed immensely but the cary with the right speakers is really sweet, a whole different sound experience. i think some folks around here have experience w/vr2's, etc & these 2 amps & can be more helpful??? good luck & have fun.
