But the C1100/601 combo leaves we wanting for nothing at the moment.

Doc,

The question is not if you will discover a better sounding preamp. If you are happy with the 1100, don't move. Seriously.

JUST DO NOT LET THE REF6 GET INTO YOUR HOUSE for a tryout. [emoji23]
I have been very happy for years with Black and White TV. Until I discovered colors !
