thanks for this write up , just love trying pre amps and the dcb1 does sound worth a go . recently had the schiit saga valve passive pre in the system and it was stonking , if i still have it i would love to try it against some of those pre amps . i am now using the schiit freya with the firebottle monos in valve form and it has a big full bloodied , compelling sound . slightly more weighty than the saga . highly recommended at 725 new . i am very impressed with it and it really gels with the f/b monos

Hi Phil!
If you fancy it, give Alan a shout and compare against his RVC. He claims my suggestion of replacing the wiring with some of my cable innards has raised its game again and could possibly challenge the DCB1.
Hes also going to add some takman resistors which could help further.
I'd suggest you'd probably be impressed.
I am also happy to bring the DCB1 over if you fancy a listen. After what it did for Alan's system yesterday, I'd be stunned if you didn't want one. Sent from my VKY-L09 using Tapatalk

A valve output board came up at the right time in the classifieds (thanks JohnJo) so I have converted it into a valve buffer.
It is lashed into a temporary case and wired into the system from the passive outputs of the pre.
It sounds sensational, a touch more organic than the chip buffer. Need to get a nice case and box it properly.
I love Hendrix for so many reasons. He was so much more than just a blues guitarist - he played damn well any kind of guitar he wanted. In fact I'm not sure if he even played the guitar - he played music. - Stevie Ray Vaughan
