As long as you are customizing -- move the lower 3 bottons to the right side and call it quits.

I guess I'm in the minority here, but I really kind of like the overall look of the D.D. preamp. That being said, I hope that Dan reconsiders the following:
Other than the somewhat controversial looks, what interests me the most is Dan's re-introduction of Tone Controls which also can be switched out of the audio circuit entirely when not in use. It is claimed that unlike other high-end preamps from days of yore, his implementation will not degrade the sound quality, but rather make flawed recordings sound better. A bold claim indeed, but until I get to demo it, we shall see. In addition, the following pic shows more clearly the 300 VA power supply which is housed in a separate chassis, which also serves as a base for the D.D. preamp: http://i1080.photobucket.com/albums/...ps30bedbf8.jpg Anyway, here's what "PureSound.be" (Dutch audio review website) reported on the D.D. preamp - Puresound: D |
Not a fan of the "propeller" buttons. I bet it does sound very nice.

Thanks for posting. I still don't like the "propeller" knobs. But, I'm sure it sounds nice.

I agree about the propeller knobs. Kinda throws the visual off a bit. I wonder if there are any pictures of this in black. Though I usually go for silver components, I really like the look of the black monoblocks.

I will finally get to spend time with Dan's pre-amp at the Paragon event in Ann Arbor next Thursday and Friday. In the meantime I have had the Doshi pre-amp in my system for the past week. This is the new remote controlled unit that was used at RMAF this past year. I also saw the crates for Paragon's pair of Wilson Alexia's as they arrived yesterday. These should be set up today to start the break-in period. |
Lovely gear, just the coin is a bit much for moi :redface:
