JRDG Capri vs. Parasound JC-1

Clio09 has had the JRDG, you might to email him. As for the JC2, is truly a fantastic preamp, handily besting a fully modded SF pre that I had prior to it.

Sorry MJ but I haven't compared the two, my purely speculative guess would be that the JC2 is a bit better, which is probably not worth that much ;-)

Somewhat off topic, but the main reason I have not tried the JC-2 is that I've become very attached to having a digital readout of the volume setting, which the Parasound pre does not have. I also have the impression from the Stereophile review that it can be tricky to adjust the volume remotely with good precision.

Having a readout helps for setting levels when doing comparisons of things and it also helps me to monitor my listening levels at night when others are sleeping.

I tried a Capri in my system and was not impressed with the sound. Bass was shy and it had a soft presence. Great volume control. I just got a pass xp10 and love it. Amazing midrange and nice warm side of neutral. Built like a tank.
