Bent Audio Autoformer vs Tube Pre

Has anyone compared the two? I'm thinking of building a fully balanced Bent Autoformer unit.

If you have compared the two, what do you think?

When properly utilized in a passive friendly system, TVC and autoformer linestages usually best any active preamp regardless of technology. I have owned many well regarded tube preamps and my Sonic Euphoria PLC has laid them to waste every time. Shakey

Wow, how have you found the time to listen to every single preamp made since the beginning of time in all the near infinite number of systems friendly to such a device. You have lots of time on your hands. In addition, it seems your preference for sound is the standard. Most impressive!
