Classe' DR-6 MKI vs MKII


Hi,

I wish to buy an old Classe' DR-6 to drive my Jeff Rowland Model One and my ML Aerius. I wish to know if the last DR-6 version (balanced inputs and outputs) reflects a true balanced design and the overall quality of the sound respect to the first DR-6 version (balanced outputs only).

Thank you for your help.

Regards.

Thank you for your suggestion as I have never listened to the Capri preamplifier. I have just read the few words reported by the unofficial JRDG info database of hifi-advice.com site on the Capri-Synergy comparison: "

Capri
2006-2013
Retail price - 3098 euro
The Capri is a sort of Synergy lite, but more compact in a new smaller width, with switch-mode power supply and slightly less features. According to friends, it sounds more accute and less full/fluid than earlier more elaborate designs."

Don't you agree with this opinion?
I read them some time ago, but I could not find any comparison between Capri and Synergy preamplifiers. I'll search again, thank you.
