Rogue audio RP-7 versus PS Audio BHK preamplifier


I have an old Rogue Audio Super Magnum 99 tube preamplifier that I will be replacing in the not too far future. I really liked the sound of the magnum 99 except for the tube hiss. It’s not audible when playing music but still bothers me, particularly when the volume is low. It also constructs the soundstage, an effect that is evident when I connect the external DAC directly to the amplifier. 

from what I read both of these models should be a significant improvement over the magnum 99. I am wondering if anyone who have heard them both has any opinions/thoughts on how they compare.

I auditioned the RP-7 for a weekend.  Superb!  It absolutely blew away the Parasound I had (I promptly sold it).  I returned the RP-7 when I found an LS27 used - which sounds fantastic, but I think the RP-7 sounded better to be quite honest.  I am happy with LS27 and service has been very responsive.  I have never auditioned the BHK stuff.  The prima luna stuff I have heard is MEH.
