Can't speak to the Air Tight amps matchup, but I will give you my perspective from a Conrad Johnson amp/preamp point of view. The Supratek is exactly the opposite in my system and the sound seems to "jump" from the speakers and the image is more forward than my cj preamp. It was a little disconcerting to me as I am used to the more laid back, darker CJ sound and apparently over the years have become quite accustomed and enamored to that "stage". The pre is an older PV11 with phono. (souped up by Mr. Bill Thalmann). I was even thinking of maybe selling the Chenin as I was just going to wait and attempt to score a rare Premier 7a which is what I was chasing for a couple of years.
However, the vibrant nature and the much superior rendition of overtones and notes, especially in the high end and extension now have me quite enamored of the Chenin. The phono stage is extremely good and matches anything I have ever experienced. It will show you why so many prefer vinyl to redbook and non-audiophiles that listen to my system without prodding on my part routinely comment on how much "better" vinyl sounds.
I can't comment specifically to your case but I do have a dedicated listening room and use stats (ML ReQuests). The Chenin fits in wonderfully.
In any event, Have Fun.
