Why so little Primare gear on A'gon? Bad rep?

I've got a D30.2 CD player. I've tested it against a Exemplar modded Denon 2900. It actually sounds nicer to my ears than the Denon, not by much, but I'm one who doesn't really prefer the 'vinyl' sound. Plus my speakers have a sweet vinyl appeal to them already. (Dali helicon 400's)
I also compared it to a Marantz CD 6006. Blew it out of the water! I had just bought the Marantz new thinking it would be my main machine. Now it sounds tinny to me...not rich like the Primare. I had them all connected to my Parasound Halo integrated amp. I duped my test CD thrice, so I could A/B/C them while sitting in my chair using the remote. God it was fun doing it that way.

It's like my YBA gear, you buy it, enjoy it and you don't look to sell it.

I have not auditioned the I-35 series.

Happy Listening!

whoa - old thread revived...

i have my primare i-30 - lovely piece, beautiful to look at, excellent sound built like a tank

I bought a Primare I-30 in 2009 and replaced it with a Primare A-32, and a Primare Pre-32 in 2012. What ticked me off was, that the remote controls one by one stopped working overtime, but I changed the volume by going to the pre-amp and change the volume there. The Pre-32 stopped working today, it produces a frightening knack in the right channel. I took them off the loudspeakers and re-commissioned my I-30, just to discover, that when I change the volume knob, the level goes straight to max volume, even if I turn it down. I am kind of at a loss. Are there others, who have had similar experiences with Primare?
