i owned the raysonic, although i did not compare it with the cary.
my brief comments refer to the raysonic.
if i recall, the raysonic used 6 volt tubes--6dj8 or 6922, probably not 6fq7.
i found the player closer to truth than beauty, closer to transparency than euphony.
perhaps one could find some mullards to alter the frequency response, however, if i were looking for a "warm" player , raysonic would not be it.
