This is in response to an email I recieved.
I have had Cary products in the past and am truely disapointed this time. It is similar to what Rotel did on their first dvd player. They put a cheap JVC player in their own case and marked it up. But this is high-end Cary.
The Cary case looks great but I see few difference. If they only had modded it, like some are doing, I'd be really interested. I'm sorry, but I will be suspicious of their further products. Especially their HT and digital amps.

The only differences I see are IEC socket, PS shielding, heavy casework, and removeal of card reader.
