Graham Slee GSP Era Gold Mk. V - anyone have it???

Just bought one for $700 and it is outrageous. I hear the price is going up quite a bit next month.

Wcmustang- join the club man! I can't say enough about this phono stage. It is incredible.

I just bought a ERA Gold Mk V, and am completely amazed by its performance. I bought the Elevator EXP also, because I know there is no way the price will stay what it is. I read about its design, and am willing to bet that it is better than the Tom Evans Groove.

The sound is far exceeds by expectation, even after reading the Stereophile article. I expected. A well recorded album sounds better than its CD equivalent. The sense of space and depth is incredible; and the transient response is something to be heard. It sounds great, but as it warms up its performance becomes phenominal.

My configuration is:

VPI Scout w/Dynavector 20XH
Pass Aleph P
Krell FPB 200
Martin-Logan ReQuests w/Magnan Signiture speaker cables

My Krell KAV 300 is no slouch, but it can't deliver the type of spacial effects resolved in my analog system.

BTW - I'm using some MAS Grey silver interconnect sold on this site for only $60/1 meter pair, and they sound fantastic. I highly recommend them.

I am glad that people are beggining to use this piece. I can't think of a purchase that I have made that excited me more than the Graham Slee.

How much gain does the unit have (can't find that anywhere)? I'm
curious to know if most of you happy owners are using MC cartridges
and, if so, are you using a step up? Because the basic unit is a fixed 47k
load. The Elevator (which more than doubles the cost--eek!) gives you
some choices, which are ALL 100 ohms or less. All of this sounds
potentitally challenging for the average MC user.
