I used Capri by Jeff Rowland along with Spectron until now and I started to look on other preamps. I audition MBL 6010 and I agree with Steve - its very dynamic and quit and is excellent match. You cannot go wrong here. Excellent choice.
However, Simon from Spectron introduced me to Joule-Electra LA-300ME (and no surprise as he did design there power supply or something) and it caused so different emotion that I am selling my Capri and placing order for LA-300ME.
The reason is very simple - I could not stop listening and I was "in" the music. No other preamp or amp ever come close to this experience... I can't wait until I get my own unit. Pure and simple.
