Who has heard the Audio Research CD5?

There has been some professional reviews of this player on ARC website but virtually no mention from the buying public. All of the attention has centered around the CD8 and CD7. Has anyone been able to compare the CD5 vs. CD7?
The CD7 certainly is showing up used alot because of the new CD8 and used prices are cheaper than the CD5 new.
Anyone?

Oregonpapa - I have a CD-7se but it doesn't have much play time. Can you tell me what tubes you are running with and I am interested in the sonic difference the Synergistic Research Black fuses made, before and after. I am thinking I didn't give this player much of a chance, as I have been using a Modwright modded Oppo 105D instead. Thanks for all your input!

OP - Thank you for that info! Gonna give it a try, especially about the tube dampers!
