Ken, I hope this works. BTW you may want to test submerging the VCAPS in some kind of a resin/glue that solidifies and dampens the caps while inside a transportable enclosure. Thanks.

It appears that you are going to get a lot of people worked up in the forums when this review comes out.

It's really tough to drop $550 for v-dock. It would be great if less expensive casing could be used instead of wood.

Extruded anodized aluminum, should be pretty sweet.

I see trose49 is a happy camper:
Whoever said...

You gotta love those comments like "why not get a 'real' source instead?"

I really hope the upcoming reviews of Ken's V-cap Dock (6moons.com and Tone Audio are scheduled to have reviews out later in the month... hopefully)put it up against some "real" sources... really good ones because when using lossless or WAV files, the iMod + V-cap Dock combo kicks the arse of much more expensive dedicated CD players and dac combos... especially in terms of musicality. Gotta hear it to understand.

I am getting closer to 100 hours on mine and it sounds very juicy, let sinking my teeth into a juicy piece of fruit and letting the juice roll down my chin. The sound has FLAVOR!

Oh yeah, it also looks and feels like it sounds... very classy! :k1000:

I want my sound to be juicy too! Too bad I also want my wallet to be fat.
