Tubed Pre match with a Spectron Musician IIISE?

I am using the BAT VK31SE with my Spectron MIIISE with excellent result. In fact, according to Simon in Spectron, they uses BAT preamp for testing. They have very good sound and imped. matching between BAT and Spectron. I am extremely happy with this pair up..

During CES 2009 new "The Killer" tube preamp will be introduced - not terribly cheap but not ultra expensive.
Some auditioned it with Spectron monoblocks and "fainted"
Have a bit of the patience......

All The Best

P.S. May be some of you know that Simon Thacher of Spectron "golden standard" was REX by BAT ($20k) and no other preamp came even close .... not anymore and not for $20k either! (not even close).

Dob,
Who makes the "Killer"? Why so secretive: it's a preamp. Will it be intro'd at CES or T.H.E Show?

Simon, from Spectron, mentioned this new, soon to come out, mysterious pre-amp to my hi-fi guy but wouldn't give out any specifics. I will be in the market soon for a new pre-amp for my Spectron amp and I am dying to find something out about this new pre-amp.

I do know that Spectron is working on a pre-amp for the line. Perhaps it could be theirs??
