audible illusions vs supratek, vs holoaudio vs backert


starting to re-build a system and thought I'd start with some well known budget pre-amps that are supposed to punch above their weight.  i will be playing rock cd's only through atma-sphere m60's.  speakers and cd player are still TBD.  any thoughts/comparisons on these brands.  Obviously the supratek and holo are cheaper, but still wouldn't mind some overall feedback as I have never listened to any of them.

I agree with Ozzy62.  I owned 3 AI preamps, the original 3, 3A  and 3B.  They did NOT sound like solid state, more like a very well balanced tube unit.  Great product but service is less than stellar.
