Opportunity to buy the best Preamp... but which?
Tube territory:Audio note kondo m-77 or M-1000MKII, is the best, others second line Aestethix, ARC ref3, First sound, VAC..perhaps Wavac and Shindo top of the line near KondoSS preamps:MBL, FM, Boulder, Rey audio, Connoisseur CTC and Soulution, be... 
Integrated amp: VAC, DK ref, Ayon Sunrise or Karan
The speakers are Magico Mini, and the digital gear is EMM labs 
best preamp ever - cost is no object
I heard a lot of preamps, and only a few are excellents preamps. Among the SS preamps the new Connoisseur 4.2 surely is the best with Vitus,Viola, Boulder series 2000, MBL,CTC, FM and Burmester very near, and probably only reyaudio preamp is equal... 
VAC Phi integrated or 1 preamp + 1 amplifier
yes one preamp with one amp, surely Callisto plus Viola or VTL 400 
VAC Phi integrated or 1 preamp + 1 amplifier
I think that the Phi integrated never can reach the level obtained with this combo
