Default Santa Claus came in the middle of June....

I must have been sage...
I must have done my duties...
Look at what Santa Claus brought to me : a C1000C / C1000P.
It is supposed to be SH from AC, but it looks completely new !

I'm speechless with the quality and refinement of the sound.
I have work to do for tomorrow so I can't say more right now, but Alberto, just wait untill tomorrow and you won't talk about tone controls anymore !
Tomorrow I will post extensive comments on this fabulous component.
I thank God for allowing me to get this wonderful piece of gear.
And of course, thanks to Mike Sastra ( Audio Classics ), Dan, Ivan, Jean Marc, Serge and all the great guys here who made me aware of this kind of quality equipment.

Your gain is someone else's loss.

I wish the MCD-500 had he 3D look of the 1000's.

Jérôme.......Fantastic. Your room is looking so nice. I like the artwork on the acoustic panels, too.

The C1000C/P looks perfect in your system. What a great move, straight to the top. Congratulations. I'm looking forward to more comments. The 501's look beautiful next to the EB1i speakers, too. Everything is looking very good, my friend. Hope you can see my smile. I'm guessing your smile is much bigger than mine.

It is interesting that several of us have gone with the C1000P. I would have guessed more would have chosen the C1000T some for the sound and some for the looks.

Dan, Thank you for the nice comments ! With Jean Marc, you are the one who made me buy it. Now I hope my comments will do the same for Alberto....
Yes I can see your smile.
But I'm waiting till I will see it for real !
As I told you, If you come to Paris one day, you won't have any excuse if you don't stay home ! the listening room is ALSO the friend's room !! The sofa
converts to one double bed !

Best wishes,
Jérôme
