Wadia 581 SE vs 781

I would like to hear Wadia owners opinions. If you have had or auditioned both the 581-SE and the 781 what is your opinion of the sound differences. I have a 581-SE presently and I'm thinking of the upgrade to the 781.

As an alternative, you may want to consider sending the 581 to Steve at Great Northern. He will have your 581 outperforming a stock 781 for less money. Terry

It seems that they are more interested in their new 1 series units which, to be fair, is probably keeping them in the black.
