New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre
I'm not going to repeat Guido's comments on the entire break in process, except to say I have found the same things changing at the same time he did. If anyone needs further clarification on it, please ask. I will say that I was suprised at the ne...

I have a new Criterion and will report on my thoughts after a few hours of break in. Obviously, it's drop dead gorgeous and has incredibly smart features. I'll get to some of these later. First, a little taste. It's already better at soundstaging ...

Review: Wadia 781 CD Player
Lucky Boy, I sent a reply last week, but it didn't post. Let me try again. The jump is in spacial and musical properties. Microdynamics are quite a bit better too. It is a pricy upgrade, but if I had a few extra thousand, I'd do it. If you had abo... 
Review: Wadia 781 CD Player
As far as the 270SE/27i VS: 781 stock, I'd say the 781 still is more musical and perhaps not as powerful in the bass. Bass resolution however is still a bit better in the 781. The 781 is all about the conveyance of the music's emotion while not go... 
Review: Wadia 781 CD Player
Yes 270SE/27i (not iX) un moded, in comparison to the GNSC Moded 781 
Review: Wadia 781 CD Player
No it was not my own, but it was in my system (cables, pre, amp speakers...)Yes it was the 27i (not iX) and the 270 SE. The big dif is not in resolution, but in 3D imaging and way way more musical. The 27/270 still has the newer (from I guess 2000... 
Review: Wadia 781 CD Player
It was an "i" Version, but not clock linked to a Wadia 7 Transport. I have heard the 27iX and 270SE together. That was good, about 75% of this 781 I have. The first 27 I heard was near painful in my setup. I tried dif cables, transports, I solatio...

Well Gang, we are down to the last 30 days in this year and I sure hope Jeff can get this thing out the door in time for Santa to put it in his bag of Christmas toys to be left under my tree Christmas morning!

Guido, I was sceptical of your thoughts on the Capri being that good until I had my Wadia CD player upgraded (781) and then moded by Great Northern Sound to Statement level. The Capri has now shown me that my weakness in my system was my source! I... 
Stereovox LSP-600c and Merlin?
I've owned Kubala Emotion and tons of other high grade cables. Silent Source Music Reference is WAY beyond Kubala!

Guido, did Jeff say how it's progressing towards a production date? I've waited nearly a year so far, so if it actually gets out his shop door by the end of this year Ill be satisfied.

Someone mentioned it would have a phono.....Was that meaning a input, or a on board amplification section....
