Author Topic: CP55 with SRA5 or CP500-SR? Tom Wienholt Master Film Handler Posts: 371 From: Towson, MD, USA Registered: Dec 2002 posted 11-13-2004 02:11 PM                     I am curious as to which system will produce better overall analog sound quality. A CP55 with SRA5 (cat. 280Ts) or a CP500-SR with an cat 222SR/A card? If you had a choice, which would you install?

It has the right combination of analog and digital circuits. Its compiter is a bit buggy though.... All time best sounding analog processor is the CSP-1200...

The CP500 has great High Frequency clarity, but I've noticed that the 500's center channel matrix can bleed into the L and R channels, more noticeably than the 55. I love my 500's, but I yearn for 55's  |  IP: Logged
