It provides for a balanced presentation of all ranges. I won't say that it's bright, but it's not warm either. Overall I'm satisfied, and I've had no reliability issues over the last 5 months.

The Cary is just more musical all the way around.I did a comparison on audioreview and recieved hate mail from Rega Planet 2000 owners.Oh Well!!!!
