ClearAudio Reference w/SME V Vs SME10 ?


I am considering two tables:

1) ClearAudio Reference acrylic table (boomerang plinth) with an SME V tonearm.
2) All SME 10 table (maybe upgrade to an SME V tonearm, maybe not).

I will be using either with a ClearAudio Virtuoso Wood cartridge connected to a Hovland HP100's MM phono-stage.

Both pass the wife's aesthetic requirements so it's down to sound and performance.

Any opinions?

I have noted that VERY few Clearaudio Reference's or even Revolution's have been mentioned in light of the new Master Solution and Maximum Solution (too expensive). But my wife liked the boomerang plinth better then the tri-legged plinth looks wise.

Thanks,

Your rack should do fine. If that rack cannot isolate any table, it probably can't be done.

I agree with your wife, get the Clearaudio. Just because Raul is clueless.
