    I had a .4 for a time.Nice discrete line stage fairly neutral sounding.It would benifit from a recapping due to age.

    Oh ya thats a given for the recap! Just woundering the sonic diff vs the dared. My tech says the specs on the perreaux are impressive, he's checking out the bryston now. Looking for some more dynamics and detail as well as imaging.
