I have been using VP28's on every mix in line mode until a couple of months ago when they dropped signal level significantly. I'm not sure if it's an opamp issue or what but I haven't had a chance to troubleshoot them. I'm bummed because they are magic.

I’m gonna build a pair of these very soon.

I’m gonna build a pair of these very soon. If you can manage to even get some. Parts have been on backorder for Jeff for everything so his stuff is in major high demand. Hard to score stuff from him. Gone within an hour usually.

Gone within an hour usually. Yeah I've noticed they don't seem to be in stock much. I guess, then, it's fortunate that I don't have the budget anyway.

I’m embarrassed to say, I haven’t heard any of the line with the new CA-0252 opamps. Jeff has said they are pretty stellar. Anyone have experience with them?

All my CAPI is on GAR 2520s right now. I hear from anyone who used them that the CA 0252s are just awesome. I just have to find the time...

Gone within an hour usually. Right? I've been looking for a 553F for a while now and have been randomly checking his site every few days to see if they came in stock. Over the weekend I saw there were 12 in stock so I bought one. Today I checked just to see how fast they're selling and he's down to 6.

Even gifted some to my mastering engineering buddy to use in his API 5500 he was going to sell, now he loves it. I feel the same with my API 8200a, I've had that thing for like 15 years and only when I put the CA-0252's in it did I finally feel it was sounding how I always wished it did. I haven't tried the new potted versions yet.

Does Jeff have any ETA? I hate to be the 100th guy to email and ask.

Does Jeff have any ETA? I hate to be the 100th guy to email and ask. nope. He gave up on that. Every time he thinks he has one it gets pushed back more. He did make a facebook group that is just for tracking CAPI stock updates though. He comments on the post of the device when something is in stock. The LC25/40s had a small batch this weekend. was gone in an hour.

I am supposed to receive a pair of LC25s with CA-0252s this week. Hopefully, that time frame is still real! Trace says they are being built as I type this!

Hey folks, yes I started a Facebook group to help with stock updates. There have been so many crazy delays in the last year that I kinda gave up estimating until I have the parts in my hands. Another giant reason why I don't like to sell what I don't have on the shelf. The facebook group is here www.facebook.com/groups/capi.store.stock.updates

I'm not sure if it's an opamp issue or what but I haven't had a chance to troubleshoot them. I'm bummed because they are magic. On both units at the same time? Highly unlikely. Could it be something else in the system?

Could it be something else in the system? Yea that's a great point. I moved them into another 500 rack and tried to use it as a standard pre with a dynamic mic. It seemed distorted and had super low output. I tried the same mic and cable into another pre and everything responded normally. Because I had a session I didn't take the time to fully troubleshoot. I definitely need to get those bad boys working again.

Do you guys like these new CA-0252’s in the VP28 as a pair, or in combination with the 1731? I know the 2520/1731 was a popular combo. Wondering if that still holds true with the CA-0252. Or do you prefer CA-0252 x 2?

Wondering if 2 VP28 platinums into the silver bullet would be overkill on master bus... anybody stacking saturation devices in this fashion?
Just got a pair of LC25s with the new CAPI opamp and I love the way they sound, but I think I want them to be on vocal bus for now. Great saturation. Just gets you there faster. But I want to get there... even faster...

But I want to get there... even faster... I don’t have a SB but I do use several stages of saturation on the master bus. Just depends how hard you’re hitting each stage and what you’re getting out of them.

A pair of VC528's receive the output of the RND 5088 regularly here. It's a very nice combination more often than not. I dig the filters on the VC528's.
