Erhard Audio vs Decware

Looking at a couple of pre-amps with few formal reviews but good word of mouth praise.

The options are the Erhard Aretha and the Decware Triode.

Anyone have a chance to hear either?  Would be interested in your thoughts.

Must say, its ironic that this is how we shop for audio these days....... what ever happened to Tech HiFi , Tweeters and Bryn Mawr Stereo.
