I am not entirely sure the 2.1 is "better" sounding as it just may be different sounding? I don't know as I am thinking of doing the upgrade with the new caps, but have second thoughts. I don't want to lose some of the warmth and "tube" sound by going to the new caps. I understand the new caps may be more extended, purer etc - but are they as musical? Are they as musical is the real question. Bill

The upgrade consists of other things as well as the caps. In order to get Joseph's new caps, you have to buy the entire upgrade package. He won't sell the caps separately. I've already asked Victor. I am going to speculate that unless this new cap wasn't better, and more musical as well,that Joseph wouldn't be offering it in the new 2.1 version. Based on what Victor e-mailed me about his impressions on this new cap, he says that it is superior in every way to the current upgraded Hovland cap, i.e. more musical.

Well, as much as I'd like to( I might in the future) I am currently enjoying my 2.0n so much that the thought of having to carefully pack up my preamp, take it to fedex on the other side of town, ship it to Joseph and wait another two weeks until I get it back, well, I hate knowing that my preamp will be away from me for so long. And also, I am currently breaking in some new power cords( to be announced soon) on both my monoblocs and preamp so I still have a couple more weeks before they settle in so I want to get the full measure of these cords before I do any other tweaking or upgrades. Kapish? What a fun hobby this is.

I have emailed Joseph and will upgrade my dac or pre. Not sure which would have the most impact and am getting his opinion on which to start with. Bill
