Perpetual Technologies P1,P3, and Monolithic PS

What is the deal with all of these units on Audiogon? I have this setup, and it is by far the best D/A combo I have ever heard for anywhere near the price!! I used to work in the business, and we had a lot of high end gear. The differences between this combo and the high end CD players or DAC's is very miniscule. There are even posts up for all three with a price of $800! This is the bargain of the century! I am wondering if people are using inferior transports, cables, preamps, amplifiers, or what?? If anyone has these units for sale, or have sold these units, please let my know the reasoning.

I owned this Trio for 6 months. My P3A had been modded by Dan Wright and I had the speaker correction softwarre for my Thiel 2.3's. I ended up selling the lot because after several months of listening I just did not like it. On my system, in my room, with my ears, I just thought the wide variety of music I played sounded mechanical and fatiguing.

I had this experience recently hearing this trio on a friends system that was significantly better than mine. This is just my opinion based on my experience.

You bet. Empirical Audio does a TurboMOD to the P-3A that makes it rival the Meitner for redbook playback. see details on Audiogon or at:
