Dodd preamp vs. McCormack RLD-1 preamp

I am interested to know if anyone has any experience with both the Dodd battery powered preamp and the Steve McCormack platinum-modded RLD-1 preamp. I am looking to replace my ARC LS3 and both look interesting and in the same relatively affordable price range.

Thanks in advance.

Buy low and try it out and sell if it is not to your liking.

Pub,

Do keep us updated on your findings with the Dodd vs. the other pre amps you have/had.

The GP EARLY '60's Siemens CCa crushed the Amperex WL GP PQ D getter in my system.

I have only seen one Dodd pre up on the 'Gon and it sold in two days. Good luck finding one used.

I would like to thank Mrj for all the info on the Dodd and how it helped me buy and try it out in my Audio Note system. It smokes the AN M3.

57,

VTS took over 5 weeks to send my Amperex tubes. I hope you fair better than I did.

To me five weeks is way to long to wait on two tubes. I sent them back.
