Bi Amping Martin Logan Vantages
there is already a 200 watt purpose designed amp driving the woofer.Are you attached to the Onkyo? Try a tubed pre. Save your money on buying an extra amp. 
Looking at Proceed BPA 2, AMP 2, HPA 2.

returning vinyl for warpage?
Both of the albums are warped on the outer edge so a center clamp won't do much to help in this case.The TCV is more of a single warp and the beatles while not as steep as the single warp on the TCV has several "wavy" warps in it.... scares the cr...

Macdadtexas, I have thought about getting a ring but I am not sure there is one compatable with a Rega p-5? Or is it a one size fits all type thing?

Kurt,The LP is much better, at least to me it is. I had the cd for about a month before going out and getting the album.It's actually the 2nd copy. The first copy was warped as well and I returned it. I bought the Beatles on that return trip. Now ... 
P3-24 pitch instability
I checked my recently purchased P-5 last night. No wobble at all from either the spindle or the motor, or at least I can't see it by eye. 
New Adcom GFA-555 se - Special Edition
I bought one used off agon as a fill in while my Proceed HPA2 was in the shop.... had to die when they where moving the factory so I had PLENTY of time with the Adcom. Wasn't too bad at all considering I paid about what the tax was on the proceed ...
