Rogue audio RP-7 versus PS Audio BHK preamplifier

I suspect the RP-7 is the better choice.  Highly praised in reviews consistently although I have not heard it myself.  I have heard the BHK and wasn't overly impressed.

I own the BHK,  have had only a brief exposure to the RP7 and spent a lot of time with the RP5.  I liked the RP5 a lot and in my brief exposure to the RP7, it is great.  

With the BHK, I swapped the stock tubes out  for a pair of NOS Tunsgrams (which was Mr King's preferred tube according to Kevin Deal and I believe him!) and with those tubes it is outstanding.  I found the stock tubes unpleasant.  

Which is better is a really tough call.  With stock tubes, my gut tells me the Rogue.  With the Tunsgrams, it might swing to the BHK.  Both will be an upgrade and both companies make outstanding products and have superb customer service.  

I am going to sell my BHK soon. I have since upgraded further (because I am the importer) to the Art Audio Conductor which is in a different league from a preamp perspective.   Analog volume controls, gain that is adjustable and customizable based on sensitivity of your amp, etc...  

I have the RP-7 driving a Rogue Stereo 100. The RP7 is incredibly dynamic, quiet, and airy in the highs, and has a multitude of inputs and versatility. I swapped the stock JJ 12AU7 with Radiotechniques and that sweetened the sound even more, and added more bass whack. I don't have any experience with the BHK, but am super smitten with the RP7. It's a fantastic pre amp.

I had a Rogue RP5 for 2 years and liked it very much.  It was dead quiet.  I wasn’t thrilled with the stock JJ tubes and once I rolled in 4 NOS Mullard tubes which I bought from uncle Kevvy, the sound was just fantastic.  It is a very well made preamp with many internal adjustments for the phono stage.   My only gripe was the cheesy plastic remote. I would have gladly paid $100-150 more for a nice aluminum one. 

I liked it it so much that it could have been my forever preamp and the ONLY reason I sold it was because I went to a McIntosh based system. 

Have you listened to the new Prima Luna EVO 400 preamp, I traded in my 2 year old DiaLogue Premium for the new EVO 400 and it's worth the extra $1,000.00 just call up uncle Kevvy and let him explainit to you then go out and listen to it and you will be able to judge for yourself.
