    That was certainly my experience of it. I don't mean in the least to minimise what it can do, if you read back I've been consistently a big fan of it here.

    I have Tom, you are very positive about it. It gives me good hope of getting something of rather more quality than the price tag suggests.

    Hi Oliver
    You know how good the 200mA was and so do I.
    Comments here have been made regarding the quality of sound the dcb1 gives, you only have to look at what some people have had to spend to get better.

    As for comparisons, once its finished and run in I'd be happy to see how it compares with other preamps...

    don't worry mate, I get it.

    No, I agree that it's super. But, to make a qualified comment on DCB1 v £3/4/5K kit, I have to hear it.

    If it wasn't of a high level of quality I wouldn't still be using it. I don't think the comparison to £3K pre-amps is unjustified. Although that doesn't mean it is flawless. Most (maybe all) components have a chink in their armour somewhere. Also no doubt there are some mediocre £3K pre-amps out there. Cost not always a guide to good SQ.

    Shouldn't be long mate, he was grafting on it yesterday. I sent him the wire for the hook up too so hopefully, soon!!!

    I'm looking forward to his report.

    Hi Jamie, Oliver and anyone else following this.
    The dcb1 is almost complete
    The switch ,Khozmo, inputs and output are wired but unfortunately my wrist has dislocated so finishing will have to wait.
    I will post more pics in a day or two

    Steve...

    What a shame. My casework arrived today. Not sure when I am going to be able to build it.
