Classe' DR-6 MKI vs MKII

Thank you very much for your answers!

I already own a Classe' DR-5, which is a good preamplifier but I find that its sound is a bit too bright. I also own a JRDG Synergy 1, which is a fabulous piece with a very natural voice, but, by contrast, it seems to lack energy in some cases.

A friend of mine has then suggested me to search for the DR-6, as he told me that it may represent the right compromise between the two.

Thank you very much for your very kind helps.

Your descriptions of DR-5/DR-6 performance make me aware that some problems occur in my listening room, so that some frequencies are modified leading to the bright sound. I'll try to find these problems.

Any comments on the possible choice between DR-6 and Synergy?

Thank you.

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.
