lambo -

I very dimly remember it getting a decent review in one of the hi fi mags years ago. Is it the one with a separate PSU? I suspect Kinshaw are well out of business by now.

A Prefix should easily better it - especially for LP12 owners who can get one properly fitted to their LP12s (which is after all what the Prefix was designed for). Not sure if you'd need a separate PSU for the Prefix, or if your HiCap could power it.

The Kinshaw would only really be worthwhile if dirt cheap in comparison.
