Thank you. I have since then made the move and purchased a P-8. Wow! The soundstage is absolutely huge, and no matter how loud I crank it, it is by far the quietest preamp I have ever listened to. It's big though, in two boxes, but I feel it is worth it. I did finally have an opportunity to try a KCT, which I bought used, but resold it soon after as it was a little too "acidic" for my taste and system.
