Add to my post. I don't think Esoteric has any synergy with Shindo gear. Its all about the synergy too. Isnt it ?

Do you guys order your Lampis from dealers? Or do you buy direct? Is there a wait to get a Big 7 with all the interest?
You should call Fred or Rob at Lampizator USA.

Hi Paul,
Right now, I am using the balanced (XLR) connection between my Soulution 520 preamp and 501 amps. Are you saying that hooking up a single-ended Lampi B7 via RCA connectors to the 520 preamp will sound superior to a balanced Lampi B7 connected to the 520 preamp via XLR connectors?
Thanks,
Ken
No Ken, you must run balanced to your 501's as Cyril believes the benefits of noise rejection on amp cable runs warrants a phase splitter at the end of the preamp (hence the 501's only have balanced inputs). My point is that the preamp from input to the phase splitter at the output runs dual-mono, unbalanced because as the quote in my prior post indicated Cyril considers unbalanced superior in his preamps.
So theoretically if you have an unbalanced source you would stay unbalanced through the pre-amp to get the best of Cyril's magic. Don't let the lesser gain from unbalanced fool you. (I have seen this mistaken for performance; it ain't.)
Thanks Paul for that explanation. So I guess this means you'll be going with the unbalanced Lampi GG if you decide to purchase one because, in theory, it should sound better with your Soulution 720 / 501 combo.
Best,
Ken
