Help me find a pre-amp

@OP. I am also looking for a new preamp.  My power amp is a BHK250. I have a PS Audio BHK preamp and I just finished home auditioning an LTA microZOTL preamp.  I prefer the microZOTL - it has a more delicate, but full smooth, sound.  I can hear more detail at a lower volume; voices are more natural; and instruments sound more realistic. The microZOTL is a great preamp and I may buy it.  

Today, I received a recently purchased Luxman CL-38uC preamp.  It is a beautiful piece of gear.  I plan to spend the next couple of days auditioning it and then decided between the microZOTL and CL-38uC, and sell the BHK preamp.

LTA has a very good 14-day home audition program, and you can get a fully loaded new one for just north of $5K.  It may be worth your while to look into it.  

@tyray Used ones are hard to find.  Call Alex at Alma Audio.  Alex is a good guy and I think he'll work with you on the price. 

Having said that, I recommend the LTA microZOTL preamp.  The microZOTL is lower priced, and it sounds noticeably better than the CL-38uC and my BHK Signature.  I bought the microZOTL and sold the CL-38uC.  I'm going to keep the BHK Signature for now.

With the microZOTL, the sound is more delicate; I hear more micro details; instrument separation is better; cymbals decay longer; chimes sparkle; instruments and voices sound more natural; and there’s no harshness or listening fatigue. PRAT is superb.
