Keep Sherwood Newcastle A-965 or get Emotiva XPA-5? - Blu-ray Forum

Hey Everyone,

I'm thinking of selling my Sherwood Newcastle A-965 amp and getting a Emotiva XPA-5 and xlr cables to pair with my Integra DHC-80.2. Should I make this move or stay where I'm at. I'm not necessarily looking for more power, just more clarity. I've had grounding issues with my Integra and Sherwood amp mated together.

Before you sell your Sherwood, get the XPA-5/cables & try it out. If you have the same problem, then return the XPA-5.

Yeah...it only weighs about 85 pounds. I "demoed" mine too. Too heavy to move so I just kept it.
