Conrad Johnson TEA 1 phono preamp--versus TEA2SE-

cj doesn't play games.  Each step up in their line is going to make a difference.  I have a TEA2MAX High Gain and use a Bob's SUT.  The TEA2MAX sounded noticeably better to me than the TEA2SE.  I have not heard a TEA1 yet, but feel confident that it sounds better than either of ours.

thanks.   cannot find anyone that can provide any perspective on on units with Bob's step up (which I am using) and the TEA1----

it's a LOT of money for this upgrade-------so was hoping to find somebody to comment if they had any experience in regards to same.

Guess there are not a lot of people with this phono pre----

thanks----
