Since you already have a preamp why not go the separates route with ARC? Not espousing the sound per se I have no experience with it, but it will give you flexibility plus the gear should play together well. Also never heard the Cary SLI-80 though my personal experience with Cary has been a mixed bag sound wise.
Decision Decision Decision between Cary and Audio Research Sound
My decision came down to Cary SLI-80 INTEGRATED or Audio Research VS-55...60 amp.
I am currently using Audio Research LS7 preamp(but will upgrade to better pre amp if I go with AR amp).
As suggestion from here that Cary and AR are different sounding as Cary sound is warmth and AR sound is transparency. My problem is that I don’t have any dealer that carry both brands so I can go to listen to it and pick the sound I like between the two.
Need help from you guys again, who owned or had listen to both and which sounding would you like more?
Or if not even related to Carry or Audio Research, can be any brands, Would you prefers Warmth or transparency sound and why?
Thank you for your time.
