Hey Kublakhan.
I have not heard these, but I've been also researching preamps similar in some ways to the LL2.
Apart from the LL2, my short list is made of (in no particular order): First Sound Presence, Atmasphere MP3, Joule Electra LA150, Conrad-Johnson ET2, Aesthetix Calypso. There's a Herron too.
Some are balanced, some only SE, some have remote, some have 2 volume pots...but all seem to focus on a rather purist design and 100% on sonics.
I hope this helps. Let us know how you move forward. As mentioned above, I'm interested in this too.
Horacio
