I read the Stereophile review and measurements of the Cary and it was ripe with inconsistencies and discrepancies between the RCA and XLR pathways! No wonder you may find RCA sounding superior to balanced. They even use 2 buffer tubes for the balanced circuit wherein lies the most likely impediment to your balanced connections sounding somewhat diminished comparatively.

Perhaps the Cary is not differentially balanced or uses some sort of transformer to achieve a balanced connection ?
