I heard this table at the Audio Connection in Verona, NJ last Saturday. Garth was there from Musical Surroundings with the table. It was using a Benz Wood cartridge and the Aesthetix Rhea phono stage Calypso preamp, Atlas amp and Vandersteen 5A's. The table has a very clean and dynamic sound with a great midrange and dynamics. Mary Black sounded extremely natural with excellent timbre.
My experience with other tables has been limited to VPI and Michell and the Clearaudio seems to combine the strenghts of both. If I could afford it, I would buy one. YMMV so I suggest you go hear it and decide if it's strengths match your listening biases.
