Bel Canto Ref1000mkII stock issues?


I just heard that Bel Canto is having a circuit board issue with these amps. Consequently, they are delaying shipments right now. Is it a supply issue, a quality/design issue, or a demand issue due to the favorable Stereophile review and A rating? Love to hear from anyone "in the know".
Thanks!

Swanny, have you done any A-B'ing between the Is and IIs? I haven't, but hear the IIs are a bit more forward in the treble. In another thread someone who had A-B'ed said he preferred the Is and that while the IIs had their strengths were not worth the extra $1000. Lastly I understand from a dealer that the Is outsell the IIs by a about 6~8 to 1 margin. What are you thoughts?
