Wyetech Labs Ruby Std preamp - any views?

I have rogers ruby 211 mono blocks with 1942 rca radiotron tubes , coupled with his STD preamp , very quiet , liquid , very very transparent , the preamp is a steal at that price , I had the hovland 200 4 years ago , the ruby preamp in a league of it's own , no comparison , I heard the veloce preamp , I thing the ruby has more detail and more natural sounding ,

Has anyone compared the Ruby STD with the discontinued Wyetech Opal pre? I still own mine (with upgraded Solen Teflon caps) and I would sooner have my right arm pulled from its socket than give it up, unless the Ruby STD was notably superior.

Pavpet, can you describe in a bit more detail the difference btwn the Hovland HP200 and Ruby Std?

Neal the opal is an outstanding preamp, but the ruby STD is so good in dynamics , transparency , and so very very musical I sold my mbl 6010 and bought the ruby from Roger , it's so far ahead of the rest of the PAC it's scary

Neal: what did the upgraded caps bring to the table? And did the factory ido the work? I ask because I too have an Opal. Thank you.
