best preamp ever - cost is no object

Hello there,

I am in the running for a new preamp, cost is no object.
Would appreciate to hear comments from you out there.
Thinking about Lyra Connoisseur 4.2 SE among others.
Poweramp is Tenor 150, speakers are Eidolon diamonds.
Thanks for your help and experience.

first sound's 'statement' preamp certainly is in the top grouping that can be labeled 'the best'.i own one of the fs paramount mkII preamps and know how good it is and soon will have it upgraded to the statement level

i have had audio research, lamm, first sound, the best by far i have ever heard is the mbl 6011, it does everthing right, with musicality and resolution.do yourself a favor and listen to this beauty.

What with Bob Crump's passing this may no longer be an option (at least new) but the CTC Blowtorch would be on my shortest of lists.
