I agree with you Pubul57 at the end of the road but for the $'s, especially second hand, at least in my system, the Placette RVC definitely took my system up a significant notch. BTW - I haven't heard the Dodd but suspect it is a great value and I appreciate the low totally black background that being off the grid brings. In fact, I think that is something I really liked about my placette vis-a-vis the Joule.

Hello iSanchez, "I really don't know what or why it is, but in my system the Promitheus C-core TVC sounds amazing...." I think I know why: a) you are not deaf and b) you do not buy "Recommended Component" and c) the monoblocks take care of a few weaknesses of this unit - 1 its flat a bit as all passive units but your monoblock create this "palpability" or "holographic imaging" and 2 Spectron more then enough compensate for weak bass of ALL passive units So, you have all advantages of this TVC-gorgeous finish - box and none of its disadvantages. I neaver audition active Placette and thus I can't comment - except I never audition solid state preamp I liked in my life. All The Best Rafael |
Hello Rafael, Thanks for your insights into the TVC subject. I totally agree with you on the Spectron mono-blocks complementing the Promitheus C-core TVC. I'm still amazed at the sound the Spectron amps provide. Promitheus Audio has some technical explanations about TVC and impedance, which I think can be very helpful. There is also this Bent Audio thread that covers the impedance subject as well. Best, iSanchez |
