    Not yet, part of a planned upgrade! lol . just wanted to get a stock board in to to get a feel for how to do things. There is a hole above the on switch for one though so won't be difficult.

    Well when i turned i on at the start the high trebles lasted a long time , it was almost euphonic. Its smoothed out a lot today with a better balance and mid bass coming out as time has come on. It sounds a lot more " rounded" now and has bedded in a bit. More even across all frequencies.

    Slightly different at the moment as the headphone outputs need to bed in aswell, seperate from the power amp ones so not used as much. Very detailed though . I expect it will open up more as it's had about 7 hours play time today, only 53 more to go lol.

    I like it a lot though, also and I'm sure you know, there's a real sense of satisfaction having built it.

    btw made some interconnects from the valab wire from pre to power amps. Definitely a step up from the Dueland i was using, a very clean sound. So glad it used it in the DCB1 for the hook up wire.

    All good stuff mate.

    There is a lot of satisfaction knowing that you built it yourself but that doesn't mean you've not got one of the best preamps around imo.

    You just got one for a lot less than it would be if you bought something

    DIY is the way forward.
