I've had a P2000 for 18 months and I have found it to be excellent-very revealing and grain free. The music emerges from total silence. Richard Marsh is a highly regarded designer- he's also responsible for the Monster Cable power conditioners and his capacitors are used by many high end companies. An examination of the interior reveals high quality parts and construction. Sterophile recently commented favorably on the build quality of the Marsh components. You may consider ordering directly from Marsh. I believe that their prices have recently increased but I got mine for $899 and it arrived three days after I placed my order.
