Hello,
I am not familiar with MP-1 except its excellent reputation. I am familiar with REX and its the best (along with my current Joule-Electra LA-300ME) preamp I ever auditioned or used.
When I heard REX first time (using my reference tracks) my jaws literally dropped to the floor. Word "magnificent" is understatement.
Regarding the long cables - its the best if you call Victor. In this situation,I would not care at all if preamp balanced or not but if it has a buffer driver. Victor is perfect man to address your specific concerns, He is extraordinary nice person (well may be not in all his writing... ;--) ;--) He will help you and advise you. You meet daily at "Outside" and Victor will do everything he can to help you in any way possible.
Good Luck !
Simon
