Don't overlook the Audible Illusions. I've owned mine for over 8 years and have never had a problem. It's easy on tubes (I replace mine every 3 - 4 years) and replacement tubes are relatively inexpensive. Only downside is it's not remote controlled. I do get tired of having to adjust the dual volume pots for about every third CD. This preamp continues to be highly rated by reviewers and IMHO deserves it.
