I will be ordering the H5000 Monday. It should complement the TechDas nicely.

yah...I feel the same I way. I need this component and I haven't even heard it yet. I'm a smart/careful gambler. I realize that one can't always demo a reference component. Take my new TT, the Tech...

It sounds like source components make a real difference :-) Your speakers are windows to the source. It sounds to me, no pun, that the H5000 is a winner.
