I agree with Waltfarr and Beemer about both the BAT and the Cary. I have the Cary and auditioned the BAT. They are both quality players, with the BAT definitely the more euphonic and 60s-sounding--which, to me, is a good thing. The Cary is more resolving and more tweakable with tube-rolling, but it doesn't have that "honey-glow" that Waltfarr identifies as the BAT's audio character.
