I'd love to give it a listen but I am out of vinyl for good. Going to start selling it all next year I think. Although that won't be an easy thing for me to do. I was a big time vinyl aficionado in my youth but I gradually got drawn in to the digital dark side. Easier it is. More seductive.

Yes come up anytime and you can have a look through and have what you want.

Hi Oliver
I've built 5 dcb1 each a little better than the previous just by making little changes.
My last build was a dual mono which took quite a while due to illnes then family problems but so far it seems like it was worth it.
I think the dcb1 is one hell of a piece of kit and in my opinion can't be bettered for the money.
Also, having heard your system several times there is no doubting that the krell dcb1 comobo works, thats why I'm now saving hard to get me a krell.

I agree Krell plus DCB1 is silly good.
Also the advantage of a unity gain pre-amp with a digital source - no pointless gain stage to add distortion but none of the matching issues to the power amp that you can get with a passive pre.
My only reservation with the DCB1 is the blue LED - need to upgrade that to one of the proper colours
