VAC Signature mk2 vs Purity Audio Ultra?

Has anyone compared the both or owned both before? I noticed Purity Audio is using super large Cast Capacitors and Bybee Rails in the signal path. The internals looks sweet but the price is a killer.

Take a Look Here: http://www.purityaudiodesign.com/ The internals on the Ultra look top class of course when someone is asking 25 grand and up for there preamp line.

I own the Purity GT Ultra, and I love it. I have heard the VAC in a different system, but never did an A/B comparison to the Purity. The design of the Purity does allow the full-function remote control capability that made me take a hard look at it. And when I heard the sonics, my search was over. If you have specific questions about the Purity, I will attempt to answer them.

Dragon,
I`ve been asked that question a few times.I heard the Dude in standard form and 'without' the CAST capacitor upgrade.I installed the CAST into my speakers and DAC and the improvement was fabulous!(no hyperbole).I can easily imagine the Dude-CAST option would be simply excellent(obviously I`m exstrapolating).As I`ve said before the CSL is stunningly good and allows a very strong emotional connection and involevment with music.The 'realism' is 2nd to none IMO.

I just believe to honestly answer your question you`d have to have both of them in the same system side by side and then make a choice.That`s the best(and only) answer I can give you.

I ended up getting the Purity Audio GT Series too. Pre-amp is over now for power amps.

Good move, Dragon. I love my Purity Ultra GT preamp. My experiences with Bill Baker and Joe Jurzec also leave me well-satisfied, as they have proven to be top-notch guys. My big 4-Ohm speakers pointed me in the solid state amp direction, and I chose the CODA 15.0 to fit the bill. I'm extremely happy with both choices. Please let us know of your final amp choice. Good luck!
