Mikelavigne and Thuchan--
I too spent some time listening (with my own vinyl I brought with me) to the Continuum at CES yesterday. I fully agree with Mike--I was hearing subtleties and cues I've never heard before, and with an absolutely rock-solid pitch and soundstage. Very impressive. However (and satisfying Thucan's curiosity), the system was playing through Wilson loudspeakers (Sashas, I think?) and for me, this was a great disappointment. I'm just not a Wilson sort of guy. Nonetheless, one could still tell the 'table was doing all the right things.
