SOme time ago I started the build of a very special Silver Statement preamp for an industry professional. This piece was started prior to our ggoing with the acrylic chassis so it is construced of Baltic Birch with  Sapele Pommelle real wood veneer.

I won't go into all the goodies that were incorperated into this unit (maybe more on that later?) but as you can see below, the heart and soul of this piece is the Dueland Cast capacitors. These also have .50uF Silver Bypass built in.

Talk about all out! I have never seen or heard of anyone taking the plunge for the Deuland's. Lovely piece. You were very descret and didn't shock us out of bed with the price. I look forward to "hearing" more. The stuff of dreams.

Sorry. If you want to hear it, you will have to go to CES where it [may] be featured.

I drove up to visit with Bill this past Monday, and pick up my Purity One, and saw this piece.

Trust me, even more impressive in person.
