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...

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.

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

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