Audionet is often praised for it's holographic sound. No tubes or tricks. I have owned the BHK pre and would not recommend it. Others' experience will certainly vary.
Suggestions for a holographic preamp?
I'm looking to replacing my Herron Audio tube line stage with something else, not because of a problem with the sound, but for a few other reasons.
I do both digital and analog, and have a Herron Audio tube phono preamp. My power amp is an MSB S-200, which is awesome, and my speakers are Marten Parker Duos, which are wonderful for a deep, holographic soundstage that I like so much.
I listen mostly to rock and reggae, and I'm looking to keep the price under $10K US, and I'm fine with a used one as well.
I get the feeling that I will need a tube preamp to get that holographic sound, but perhaps there are some SS ones that do as good a job?
The fellow I work with at The Music Room suggested a ModWright LS-100 or a used PS Audio BHK preamp; I've researched and they both look like they'd fit the bill, but I'd like to hear your suggestions, too!

The benchmark LA4 is totally transparent, if the depth is on the recording it is in the LA4's output. This component is relatively inexpensive, about $3k, and can be auditioned at home for 30 days. https://benchmarkmedia.com/collections/a-stock/products/benchmark-la4-line-amplifier https://benchmarkmedia.com/pages/30-day-risk-free-trial
No harm in trying.
