Decware SE84UFO Zen vs First Watt SIT3
Has anyone heard the DeWare preamplifers? Do they impart the same sweet airy sound?  
Decware: a worthwhile option?
Anyone have any experience with their pre-amplifiers? If so how would you describe the sonic chararacteristics?  
musica bella tube preamp
Hi, I am looking at Bill's newest preamplifier the Foundation. Was your musica bella made by his earlier company ? Are you still enjoying it? Thanks  
Experience with Response Audio Music Bella Custom preamp?
Did you ever find out ? I am looking into Bills, newest foundation preamplier  
Backert Rhumba 1.3 OR Modwright LS 100 ?
Anyone compare the Backert to a Manley Jumbo Shrimp? They are in the same price range.

Blisshifi.   Yes I was inquiring of Audio Mirror.  I am a little concerned about buying from a boutique firm; which might not survive if Vlad retires etc. Just look at Black Cat Cables. I rechecked Rogue; any thoughts on the RP 5 series?

Did you compare it to any other tube pre-amps?  
Finally Settled on a Preamp—Don Sachs Model 2 Custom Linestage
I am searching for a preamplifier.  Looking for tonal richness and excellent timber. Does Dons pre-amp fit that bill? Also wonder if anyone compared it to Aric Audio, Linear tube amplfier, Audio Mirror, Backart  in their search. Thanks  
Aric Audio Super 6sn7 Linestage
A question fo the group.  I am looking at Aric 6SN7, the Backart Rhumba and the LTA MicroZOTL.  My aim is to improve the timbre and tone of music.  Perhaps to add "soul ". With that goal in mind, any thoughts on how to achieve that?  
Backert Rhumba 1.3 OR Modwright LS 100 ?
How does the Rhumba compare to the microZOTL in sound. Which one has more weight and warmth?    
Power cord for Bricasti M3
Yes I tried the AudioQuest Hurricane but ultimately went with an Inakustik.  The Hurricane had better bass but the tone and timbre of the Inakustik was much better. Both were good, but the Inakustik sounded more natural.  
Modwright LS100 vs LTA MicroZOTL
And just to expand the search how about the Modwright LS 36.5. Though I am a little leary of the 6H30 super tube; as it is not easily rolled and I have heard the modern version can be harsh. Not to go down the geo-political route

No not looking for soup but do want a rich tone. Tone and Timbre is the goal. But it does sound like the newer model is different. Also looking at ModWright and LTA; open to other suggestions in the 3-5 K price range
