furiouslyadrift,
What particular model of FUNK preamp are you speaking of? Just curious if it is the one I think it is.
I like the Sutherland Director (sometimes called Direct) in my system. It is bold, focused, and very lifelike. I also like a Many Moons Audio upgraded version of the Sansui CA-F1. Disclaimer: I am Many Moons Audio.

They are both very excellent preamps with different takes on the sound, yet neither sound electronic at all. I try and buy every CA-F1 I can, as I cannot hold onto them! The Director is just too rare, so one may look to Ron’s other designs, of which I have no experience with.
