Which is better Arcam 85 or Creek 5350Se


Is it anyone out there that can tell me which integrated is better. Im looking at the Arcam A85 and the Creek 5350Se. Im using the 5.0 Soliloquy and the Cal Audio CL-20.

I have 5.0's and I auditioned them with both the Creek and the Arcam, and I was unimpressed both times. I ended up with a Bryston B60R and I am very happy. Buy one used off of Audiogon. With Bryston's 20 year transferable warranty (don't even need a receipt), you can't lose, and the Bryston is a much better built machine than the Arcam and Creek. I think Stereophile's class A rating for the Creek is ridiculous. It is definitely inferior to the Bryston.
