Audio Aero Prima

AA just gave it a new face plate. Everything else is the same as the MKII. I agree that it does look better than the older version. I beleive the remote has been changed too......

Zenieth is incorrect (or at least he was given incorrect information :-)

A friend of mine who is buying a new Prima called the distributor in Canada to ask about it. He was told it has, among other things, a completely different transport (Sony instead of Philips), a new, better power supply, Black Diamond Racing cone feet (which they didn't have before), and, yes, new looks with sculpted face plate.
It's supposed to sound noticeably better than the previous Prima model.

I have spent some quality time with the Prima MK II SE DAC, which is more like the D/A section of Capitole II than the Prima CD player. It is one of the better DAC's out there.

Golden_ears,

Thanks for the clarification. I was repeating what I heard. It's obvious since the proof is in what the distributor said. With all of those cahnges I've got to hear one myself.

Ill jump in on this thread as Im looking at the AA Prima.

Zenieth..You had made a post over on my thread... as Im looking to upgrade from my Jolida 100, and you highly recommended the AA Prima 24/96 MkII as the one to beat,and you mentioned you just got one on Audiogon..( was that the basically new one for the best offer??..if so..you probably got a great deal.

Golden_ears...

as they dont come up often, I may inquire about a new unit..who is the distributor for the US market or do I have to use the Canadian dist?? I know there is a guy in NYC(Avantgarde) who advertizes them.Thanks..Ken
