So this preamp has Sonicaps and is bypassed with teflon.
Looks like Sonicap Platinum bypass caps... Right?
Exactly! 
For additional money Gary Will install any cap you want. The 6H30 version we have uses Mundorf SIO.
The whole idea of using a battery and charger frankly was new to me. A piece of cake. Battery is charged in a few hours and so far has given me 8 hours of music. The battery has a very small footprint easily hidden for the Wife factor. The Umbilical cord is long enough to keep battery away.
So every night after listening ya grab the clips attach to battery and plug in the charger. Could not be easier.
So far the dynamics of the 6H30 are not what I expected. Its better than expectations.
With only about 50 hours of time tonality is constantly changing. The sound stage as well. The width is VG Depth and height are MIA so far. Bass is really deep but not tight yet. SIO caps in my experience take 400 hours to sound their best. On 5 hours off 5 hours for dielectrics to settle. Gonna take some time.
As of last night I hated it, that's right hated it. Harsh, shouty, hi fi sounding. However just the opposite the day before. Loved it. Oye !!
The break in period sucks but pays off in spades. If one is patient. All to many times has have I've seen my friends give up on a piece before it really breaks in. Or just give it a quick listen. IMO that five minute or 30 second evaluation is self defeating. Gary mentioned that around 50 hours I would absolutely hate it. He was spot on. Today after another 10 hours of play, better. Much better. The top settled a bit, the bass still not tight which is usually the last part to come along.
Time will tell however I think this is a keeper, the jury is still out.
It is educational and interesting to listen at each stage of time. If your lucky you will actually hear the change occur. The sonics will be questionable then all of a sudden it is not, so cool when that happens.
