Gentlemen...The Opera, Has Landed!!!

Initial thoughts; Oh so typical Meier build quality only exceeded by the integral DAC/Amplifiers spectacular sonics, w/SB3 as transport lossless files, driving my trusted K-701s.

Very nice offering Dr. Jan Meier, and also is the courtesy of audition by Todd Green. I do believe we will be doing business again soon.

Full review to follow in two weeks...

/ In order to keep this loaner program progressing on schedule and minimize shipping times, an approved listed member on the East Coast should e-mail me so I can arrange shipping on June 5th.



/ One note of condition upon arrival and inspection, was that the source selector dial appears to be loose (wobbly), I see no set screw to tighten. The source selector dial changes imputs and is firm in doing so mechanically, it seems as though a traditional set screw on the exterior for such a knob is loose. I will not be opening the Corda Opera for this reason or any other during my review.
