What is new with the Memory Player?

I have read that this player is the next great source at the online mags. Have others heard this player and is it currently being sold? What are the impressions of those who have heard this machine? Any information would be nice since I have read almost nothing other than what is contained in the magazines. Bob

Oracle,

Thanks for sharing Mark Porzilli's impressive bio. Can I send my Melos preamp to him for repairs? If the prodigous power of invention was of itself sufficient, then Edison would have convinced the power utilities to adopt a DC power grid & RCA would have survived to enjoy the fruits of it's impressive R&D. I hope Nova Physics survives long enough witness the CDP revolution.

BTW, Alex's post sounds more like applause than self-promotion.

There was Behold amplification with the Memory Player & the Scaenas at HE2007. Unfortunately I didn't understand at that time that the Memory Player was a transport only.

At HE2007 the Memory Player in combination with the Scaena arrays had the rare combination of treble sweetness with fine detail & extension, and dynamic authority on top of dead-calm relaxation. Less rolled off than Zanden, and less agressive than DCS and most of the other uber-players. Unfortunately I couldn't maneuver myself into the sweet spot, which was occupied for far too long by a very large man gesticulating like some wild Ahab about the demo sounding like "Copland on acid." Must have sounded very good indeed in the captain's chair.
