Blue Circle Gear?

I'm considering a used BC 21.1 preamp. I've never owned a Blue Circle piece. Since they're no longer in business, what are your general thoughts on their gear in general as far as build quality, reliability and sonics? And any particular thoughts on their preamps in particular, esp. the BC 21.1?

I don’t have experience with their preamps but did own a BC-204 amp that had issues. I would cringe every time I turned the amp on because I sometimes I would hear a loud pop noise.
