If you had to make this decision....

I'm looking for some advice on preamps for my system. Aside from sounding great, a remote and HT loop/direct would be useful. I've heard the BAT50SE, CJ16LS, Melos 333 and Levinson 38S. None of these jumped out as clearly better. My system is Levinson 31 -> Audio Logic DAC -> Meridian 568 -> VTL MB750 -> Magnepan 3.6R. Any suggestions on what else to try?

as a melos 333 owner (music director version), i'm glad it fared ok in such company! :>) while it has remote, it doesn't have a ht loop. not sure about the others you mention.

hi-end preamps that *do* have ht loops include sonic frontiers, vtl, arc. i'm sure there are others. if you have a chance to hear the vtl tl-5.5, i'd be interested in what ya think...
