LAMM LL2 vs. Hovland preamp

Hey! Can anyone comment on these two choices of preamps? I'm looking at either a LAMM LL2 line stage and something else for phono or a Hovland for phono/line.

associated gear: acoustat monitor 4 w/ servo amps (obviously not balanced), 777es (not balanced), oracle mkI w/ glider tt.

other recs appreciated as well.

thanks in advance.

hey findoc, thanks for the input. can you elaborate? i was also looking at the atmasphere pres (more than likely i'd have to go with the mp-3 w/ phono but might stretch to the mp1 if i'm feeling sick) can you comment on the mp3 phono?

the atmaspheres concern me w/ the amount of tubes in the gain section. if i go nos i'll be broke.

btw, i'm trying to upgrade from my arc ref-1 line stage.

thanks

mp, what about the LL2 as opposed to the L2 for those of us who dont have 14k laying around for a preamp? maybe one that's made with kindness? love's overrated. (and expensive)

any experience with the atma-sphere mp3 line/phono?

thanks
