I owned 3 different AI preamps I the past25 years, all were very musical. I would assume the BHK preamp would mate better with your BHK amp and it probably has more features. My only question is the BHK components have only been around for a couple of years, yet they always seem for sale here. Is there a reason for that? Does the sound get fatiguing after a while? The AI preamps were never fatiguing sounding.
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
