Sim audio cd players any comments ?

I run a complete Simaudio stack; P-5, W-5 and Eclipse. I couldn't be happier with the Eclipse. I run the system fully balanced which I feel is necessary to achieve the best performance from these products. The Eclipse really is a stunning player. I've been in the industry for some time and I have yet to hear a player as well balanced (no pun intended) as the Eclipse at its price point. And if you're already using a P-5/W-5 combination I feel that you really owe it to yourself to audition the Eclipse. If necessary also borrow balanced cables to hear the system completely balanced.

Kal, funny that's what Simaudio said! I don't share that point of view though.

The Orbiter is still a great piece. It just wasn't that much better than my other player for me to start changing my whole system to try to accommodate it.

I auditioned a simaudio eclipse in my system for about a week and could not hear any improvements over my old cal audio ikon mk II which I still have. Dan

Hah! I actually forgot about this until this weekend. After 3-4 months with a Denon receiver and player, I reinstalled the 'regular' stuff and realized that the Orbiter won't adjust levels. So, I whipped out the TEF SPL and set the levels with the McCormack MAP-1 so now it's the SAME for all sources.

I have the Simaudio Supernova at home for about a month now. It's probably not fully broken in yet and it sounds incredible. You need to leave it powered up all the time though, if that's not a problem you will not be disappointed.Good Luck
