I use the BHK preamp with the BHK 300 monos, for ~2 years now, and they are unfailingly musical in my system/experience. I've stopped thinking about other possibilities in these system positions. (Now, if my speakers would allow for a good SET tube amp........but they don't!)
Audible Illusions or PS Audio BHK preamp
I currently run an Audible Illusions L3A linestage and Bryston BHA1 headamp with PS AUDIO BHK 300s.
Have an opportunity to pick up the PS Audio BHK pre at half price. Any experience with AI and/or BHK? BTW am running Siemens E88CCs in Audible Illusions for months. Much freer upper end. Removes any trace of grain or hardness. I've been assured by the dealer the tubes well last despite AI's being tough on tubes.
Current system -
PSA BHK 300 monos
Audible Illusions L3A linestage
Harbeth 30.2
Dual HSU ULS-15 MK2 subs
Bryston BHA1 headphone amp
Sennheiser HD 800s
