Came across this this evening and thought it was interesting:

Interesting. How much does a Cary DVD-8 go for?

This is interesting. Looks like retail on the Cary is $1200.

Quite a difference in price. I didn't read the whole audiocircle thread for details, but the layout and back panel of each unit are very similar.
