I think the Premier sounds better than the P500 in my system. I had both at the same time, and I did some quick testing. I also have a Duet for my bedroom system. It is hard to quantify how much better the Premier is better than the Duet. Two different systems with different equipment in different rooms. One is passive and the other regenerates. I can say that one day I will have a Premier for the bedroom if I come across a nice deal. I have seen some people selling their Premier for ~$1600 on Audiogon. Go figure.

Great, would anyone else care to share their experiences. It seems like people just aren't talking about this unit.

  I have had a PPP in my stereo system for several months and will have a second PPP in my A/V system as soon as it gets it fan switch fixed. I had a P600 that I traded in for the PPP. The PPP is superior to the P600. Let me count the ways...
  --Soundstage is improved. Better depth. More defined.
  --Subjectively, the music can be more "organic"; i.e. real, involving.
  --For the first time, the sound became "transparent". Not too sure I can describe this nor did I understant the term when used in the Absolute Sound!. It just floated there in space. Note that this only happened with very good recordings and is the exception rather than the rule.
  --on the downside, more resolution works both ways depending on the recording, etc. The good music is better but the flawed recording reveal their flaws more. Kind of like getting new glasses and going to the beach.
  
  I did not compare the PPP sise by side with the P600 or any other line conditioner. It was fairly easy to determine the PPP was better and I was not interested in writing a review.
  The benefits described depend on the system. I do not expect to see this level of improvement in my A/V system. I don't listen to music on that system anyway.
