Another very interested customer wanting a run of iESL Pro, but a Signature version??

What’s likelihood of a run of them in any form? Why did you stop producing them to begin with?

I for one also don't mind if the size goes uo for ever nicer transformers too. Give us some good Ole crazy amorphous core or something

And make it black of course (at this point I sound like a dead record)

I like the IESL so much that I would probably buy a second one! It is so incredibly flexible. If I was starting over, I don't think I would have spent the money and given up the space for a carbon cc. There may be a sound difference, but I listen back and forth from IESL to carbon almost everyday and I am not bothered by any difference in sound quality. At the low volume that I listen, the IESL (and a decent speaker amp) is really all I need. I hope iFi is listening!

Another vote for iESL Signature in aluminum to match existing components.

Yes, gotta coordinate my gear that I already have. I’ll just get another tier to my clear rack when the time comes.

Love reading stuff like this. Every once in awhile I think maybe I should save for a Carbon but this kind of feeback makes me think there is no need. I was able to hear the BHSE at CanJam SoCal last month and I expected to be completely blown away. I wasn't and don't know that it's any better than my Ragnarok 2 to iESL. For the price difference I should have been completely floored by it.

We are, but to make iESL Signature/Black Label/etc we'd firs have to upgrade the one we had and that's EXTREMELY difficult.
