I was using the anlogue outputs of my Theta Miles cd player (balanced upgrade) for the past year or so, and just finally splurged to get a preamp for my system (a BAt vk-31). Your discription parallels mine. More presence, more fullness, more depth (increased bass?), the notes for example on some Maria Callas that I use as a reference much more "there" and rich.
I haven't noticed the lack of transparancey because I've been so taken by the increase in body and presence. There might be a few less creaks and whispers, but it is more than made up for the increase in growls and moans (? that make sense?)
