  1. I guess the way the question was originally phrased, it could have better been illustrated by saying... can you see the moon better with made by coca cola or glass made by Zeiss.

    if resolution means anything to you, you have your answer. I realize resolving power doesn't cure cancer, but it does ensure that when you look at it, the least amount of extraneous material, or loss of information, is... well... lost, or worse yet, interpolated.

  2. No CD I own, and I own at least a thousand, comes close to my SACD's... it's not like the cd's lack definition or even richness, but the sacd's take it to another level... specifically in fullness and smoothing out harshness. this has come from back to back playing on the same system... albeit not a great highend system(all SS using a PS3 as playback, not all PS3's are sacd compatable).

  3. I've got a wall situation like this...

    I want the cables to run along the walls where the TV is mounted from the amp to all four CW's... you can see the right angle bends that are involved.I probably could get away with a single right angle as the other portions are hidden. and excuse me... 90 degrees, my bad

  4. I just got a p5 also(has not yet arrived) and i expect big things.as stated above, at about $999 + whatever cart you want it's a good deal. and those are new prices.

    clearaudio is going to set up back at least 1500. no cart. I looked seriously very seriously at CA's but did not interview one unfortunately. instead I went for a secondary market Rega with a whole host of upgrades already installed(1400otd)

    1. Groove Tracer Reference subplatter with Zirconia ball bearing

    2. Groove Tracer Reference acylic platter

    3. Groove Tracer Reference tone arm counterweight.

    4. Rega TTPSU.

    I know you didn't ask for that opinion, but... seeing as someone else was talking P5's, I had to join in.

  5. Late to the thread here but My Experience with Emo amps and Klipsch Heritage i\is that the amps have too much gain.



    I use an XPA-5 with RF-83 with no problem.



    XPA-1s with my Belles exhibited a gross amount of floor noise (hiss). Once the volume was turned up I overrode the hiss but it had to be at a level that was "party" level not my typical listening level. I like silence at idle.

    very interesting... thanks.

    that's part of my issue with looking for a monoblock setup, I like silence.

  6. Yeah... I read something somewhere at sometime about this. let me see if I can find it.

    it had something to do with some electromagnetic field or something like such, the further in the arm gets, the great the interference.

    I found something... having to do with an unshielded cart. I do believe the elys is unshielded.

    take a look at this thread having to do with VPI's

    I bet it is your same issue, unshielded coils.

  7. I put the ordering on hold, because I am having second thoughts about the cartridge. A buddy of mine had a bronze, and hated it.

    I hate to ask, but would anybody have any guidance regarding the cartridge for this table?

    I would use a denon 103 myself... I am sure one fo the grado wod bodies would owrk well also. I have seen the P5 for as low as 995$ OBO new.
