How good is this as a preamp? How does it compare with much more expensive units? My most recent active tube linestages have been CAT SL1, Joule LA-150MKII SE, and Dodd. Does it compete in that league? If not, how so? The fact I can use it as a headphone amp is just icing on the cake. My current reference is the Lightspeed Attenuator, but I want an RCA-based tube linestage to throw in the mix. This is for a single source CD system.

The other interesting one is the unity gain/buffer/volume control -- Zbox - like a B1 with a 12au7/ax7 tube. Also choice of DACT/Goldpoint/and some Japaneese attenuator Steve really likes. Still in the camp of why gain? Expecially since my CD Players is switcable between 2v/4v.
No, I just have not pulled the trigger on it yet. In the winter I use my Atma-sphere gear, but once it warms up I might be looking again to find something to match with my Music Reference RM10 MKII in addition to the Lightspeed.
