wow, that is quite the vCap dock, a whole new sound and look. I always thought the mini connection was a bottle neck and that thing throws in a whole new look and two extra capacitors. That is just stunning.

Can't afford it.

Tell me about it, if mine wasnt already winging it across the atlantic ocean i'd be emailing now!!

Unless of course i can find a buyer for mine .

I dunno. Those teflon caps are about $40 each for Ken, its a lot of hard work squeezing them in there in parallel, he removed a major bottleneck getting rid of the mini input and output and included $300 just in cabling right there, plus its a limited edition item that has stunning appeal.

$350 normal+150 in teflon and custom extra work+$300 in alo cables+$50 for the custom extrusion about covers the price of these babies. Grab them while their hot if you want a one of a kind collectors item that you can't go wrong with in sound quality thats almost been personalized for very few people. Wish I had a stack of cash unused.

congrats indeed!

uk representing the SE vcap sales right there, thats 2 already!

those 4 caps are gonna need some serious burn in time! yes sireee!

be interesting in a morbid kind of way to compare notes on what customs decides to hit us up for on something of that magnitude coming into these shores

i guestimate about £38 minimum - thats what it was on my last £850 import (imod-vcap-smIV)

Well no appeal to me since it comes with mini cable attached and i use the Lisa II 80% of my time..but let me say that little thing looks nothing short of amazing.

I agree, I kind of want the ability to use my own iPod dock as well. I really wish I could find a way to get the caps added to a normal one in parallel or remove the mini cable from that one. I do like that it removes the bottleneck, for someone who is looking for an all in one solution for an average portable amp, this is it.
