Nice looking system. It seems to be evolving nicely. In response to your question regarding the Portal Panache, I owned one for approximately six months. It was a very good sounding product but I'm just too lazy to live without remote. I sold the Portal when I got a deal on the Classe integrated.
I owned a Roksan Kandy integrated amp a few years ago and was intrigued by the Caspian series. What are your thoughts on the cd player's sonics and operation. Does it function smoothly?
