Jeff Rowland Capri preamp

Rod did my Master Set also. I think it's critical to get that done before you start trying to evaluate equipment. Yes, you can evaluate equipment without a Master Set, but stopping the fight between the speakers and the room removes much stress (probably IM distortion)that makes it harder to hear the little refinements. When the speakers are working right, then the smaller difference pop out so much easier.

All, I am now feeding the JRDG Capri a steady diet of 384V DC through the JRDG PC1 PFC unit with very intriguing initial results. I have just started a new didicated thread if anyone were interested. . .

The Ayre K1Xe seems to be the most honored solid-state preamp in the last few years (at least that's what I take out of the forums). Could anyone contrast the Ayre to the Capri?

Thanks.

Whoa, no way Ayre is "most honored". Let's call it "worthy competitor" and leave it there.

OK, fair enough.
Anyhow, any comparisons are welcome. Thanks.
