I've listened to MPS-5 with Avalon Isis and the big Tenor monoblocks(I don't remember the cables). There was a comparison - the Playback Designs vs. Linn Sondek turntable. A man wanted to demonstrate the superiority of the vinyl over the digital sources and played some albums in vinyl, CDDA and SACD. The difference was like night and day. Like cold foggy night and warm sunny day. The MPS-5 was AWFUL! No matter what format was, it sounded veiled, congested and artificial. Just awful. And note, I am not an analog fan at all!
