Indeed there have been numerous comments over the past year + in various threads comparing the v4 vs v6. I am not sure if any were A/B but they were at least from v4 owners that had upgraded. I don't recall reading from anyone here that they were disappointed in having moved up. Well, maybe one but he moved on to another processor.

I went back to check the review that started this thread because I had remembered him stating that he was very familiar with the v4. It was odd that he never made a comparison between the v4 and v6. In the May issue of Stereophile Kal made some comments comparing the two units using passive speakers (B&W 800 Diamonds) and gave a solid nod to the v6. I have heard the v4 numerous times under varying conditions and I was always impressed but since it wasn't in my system it's just not possible to draw any reliable conclusion.
