I own a Stage 6, which I purchased as an ex-demo unit some 5 years ago in UK. Within a few months, it started giving tracking problems and, being under factory warranty, was sent back to the factory in France to have the transport replaced free of charge.
Though occasionally it continues its quirks and fails to read discs I like it a lot and, with the arrival of my Capitole II, am using it in my second system.
Very smooth and detailed sound. The transport is the best part of it. At times, I use it with the Capitole DAC in my main system.
The DUO PRO line is definitely more reliable and better sounding. If I'm not mistaken Micromega were the subcontractor of the highly acclaimed Goldmun META LASER transports.
