Looking at these specific preamps give me your opinions


I'm building a system and I have an SMC Audio DNA.5 power amp that was built about a year ago so it's up to date on technology although it is still single ended.  I have NX-otica and OB subwoofers from GR Research.  I am looking for a good preamp.  I have a few in mind and would like some opinions.  I have listed them below.

TLC-2  GT24 built by SMC Audio

VRE-1c made by SMC Audio

Revelation Raven tube preamp by Spatial Audio

LTA tube preamp

The TLC-2 and Revelation would need to be purchased new the others I might catch them online used.

I'm a sucker for small boutique companies (1-3 people) like these but always worry what will happen for my support/repairs of their product after they close their doors or pass! Hopefully they will outlive me!

@invalid Krell had over 20 employees, not 1 or 2. I understand this can happen with any company but its less risky with larger ones.
