Thanks Jazid.
Inexpliable things happen in different systems. The EAR 802 that I sold off to a German buyer raved about its qualities. In my system it had sounded a bit too even-handed. A Herron VTSP 2 that I listened to through a Line Magnetic 219a sounded dull and lifeless. Without it the LM 219a sounded massively better.
The DIY DCB1 sounds crisp, detailed and brings forth marvellous bass with my EAR 516 + ELS 57s in my small 9 square meter study. If the Vibe is better, it is really good. Thanks for the comment!
