Tube Research Labs multi channel preamp

Anybody heard the Tube Research Labs multi-channel preamp.? I need a preamp which won't hurt the sound of my (2 channel) turntable and SACD system, and still do multi-channel for movies with the family without the unhooking of cables, etc. I'm considering the Meitner, but I think a preamp is important and should be tubed.

Paul makes GREAT gear. I think it is going to be a very special preamp. Having the opportunity to hear it first is a huge benefit. It is certain to match well with your amplifier. I have not heard it yet and I have no doubt it is wonderful.

As far as the EMM Labs (Meitner) Switchman 3, being the distributor, I am biased, but I have always loved tube gear. What I hear with the Switchman is complete lack of coloration and no sense of a solid state sound. Solidity of images within the stage is phenominal and dynamics are great. The musicality is what gets me the most.

Right now, I have it in my reference system with the EMM Labs DAC 6, Tenor 300 hybrids and Kharma Exquisite 1a Extended reference speakers. I am using it only for 2 channels. If I heard a better preamp, I would be using it.
