Ryan, you're right on that. The review and info on this, as stated before can be found online: soundstage.com. That's for the audiophools emailing me on the side, asking me about the first version. I don't have a clue, but given the press, I don't think you would have a problem deciding which one to go with. Ryan, or any other Prima audiophools, or just plain ole 'phools who know: anyone ever have their Prima moded. Steve Huntley over at Great Northern Sound does some serious modifications ( they sound serious) to the Prima. Cost is $1600. The idea of the sound of my Prima improving gives, me the chills. Anybody have experience with this, or no of anyone? Steve is going to get back to me with more information which I will certainly share with you guys, for feedback. It sounds exciting, and given the price, perhaps the most cost effective way to improve the sound of my front end. peace, warren
