Hey Ken,
Like Skylab, I only have a few hours on my V-cap Dock (under 20 hours right now) and right off the bat I can say that its sound is in a new league compared to the ALO iMod Superkind cable. It is hard to believe how much better it will sound with more burn-in, but even more surprising is how much better it sounds compared to the standard iMod dock cables with the BG caps. These V-caps are very, very fine! :veryevil:
With the V-cap Dock, I am hearing more dimensionality, more tone and more texture to the sound. Cymbals have a more natural shimmer and vocals sound even more rich. I really hope that those who have the opportunity to listen to it get a chance to compare it to much more $$$ high-end CD players and/or external dacs. In terms of musicality, this ranks up with the best that I've heard!
Again, I have a lot more burn-in to put on this dock (but at least I can run it 24/7 on the linear power supply to speed up this process
).
I also want to say that the build quality is really exceptional... what a solid, gorgeous looking dock (mine is in Paduke wood)! My wife wishes our furniture looked that good!
VERY nice work!
Vinnie
