@jackd I have the D2 Mk2 as well and I am considering getting the 701 Preamp. Do you feel like the two would be overlapping if used together on the same system or do you think it will take it to the next level in musicality? I do have the YS Audio Balanced A3 preamp now, which is also a tube preamp but I wouldn't mind trying the 701 to for it's versatility. Thanks.
