Cary SLP05 vs. Audio Research LS-26

Has anyone made the comparision between these two. I realize the Cary is 2K more than the LS26's price point. I do own an LS26, and like it but now I am thinking of something new. I don't have a dealer in my area that stocks any Cary gear to speak of. So I am not even familiar with the Cary house sound. Any shared experience with both brands would be helpfull.

Why Cary, I wonder. Of course, it is the company with well deserved reputation but there is a number of such companies e.g. BAT, LAMM, Joule-Electra etc...?

" I want unity gain and I don't believe Joule or Lamm offer that... "

Just for record, Joule does offer unity gain... and everybody agrees that power supplies are extremely important in preamplifiers (VK from BAT believes its about 90% of success).

Your heart telling "Cary" - lsiten to your heart, its excellent preamp, buy it and be happy !
