Thank you very much for your advice, Tom, and to your dedication. As a fan who fondly remembered the early Rob Watts DPA gear, I bought a full set of MA1s, CA1, 3-channel Power Plus Mains Filter, and Black Slink cables nearly new from someone who had been evaluating them for USA import. I unfortunately delayed hooking them up. When I finally did, one amp failed immediately. I contacted Adrian, and shipped the amp back for service at his request. His technician (named Dave?) fixed it, I paid for the (expensive) repair, and then Adrian temporized for months before finally ceasing communication altogether without ever shipping the amp back. I had sent it directly to him late December of 2015 in Corfe, Mullen, Wimborne, since he was vacating the South Marston premises for DPA. It might have been repaired there, or more likely, at either Wimborne or DPA's subsequent address in Poole. Not living in England, there wasn't much I could do about it. A cautionary tale, for sure.
