Which preamp Dodd or Cary slp-98L


Would like some feedback on which preamp would best suite my McCormack DNA-500 SS amp. Source is Audio Aero Capitole MKII and speakers Usher Be-10 with Focal Utopia sub. I have a Melos SHA-1 and would like to upgrade.

Mrjstark,
I read through the thread on the circle and I really don't see a "shoot out", I did see a bunch of guys sitting around and listening to music but no real comments of "Dodd vs Modwright". Could you point me to the shoot out?? I'd like to read the results of the shoot out.

Regards,
John
PS-I disagree with your remarks about Cary but we all have our opinions, perhaps products are differnt rather than better or worse.
Mrjstark,
Thank you for the link but, I'm still not seeing a shoot out. However,I am seeing a VERY enthusiastic Dodd owner rave about how great his premap is vs others. Again, could you please point us to the thread where this "shoot out" took place so we can read the opinions of others at this event.

Please understand, I'm not attacking you but remarks such as "No comparison." are rather strong IMO.
If you love your preamp great, just don't see the point of pushing it so hard while slamming others preamps in the process. Like I said before; different yes but, not necessarily better or worse. Now of course better to your ears, in your system? Sure.

As a side note; Gary makes fantastic preamps and I'm quite familiar with them but I have yet to hear this incredible difference you are referring to.

Sincerely,
John
