RE: None of the Grace stuff he mentioned is listed in Rec. Comp.'s preamp section.

Well, I was only commenting on the fact that your original post didn't mention whether the preamps you listed (only the prices) were SS or tube.

I don't disagree that the prices are pretty silly these days. That said, I have heard some serious improvement as one pays more for a preamp...up to at least the $15K level. Beyond that I am not sure even though I have heard a few that were amazing (Kondo M-77 being a prime example).

I don't know why JM likes to plug this Grace stuff. I haven't heard it but based on it's design I would not expect magic.

I haven't heard an SS preamp yet though that can really go toe-to-toe with a top tube preamp. Not Pass, not darTZeel, not Boulder, not Soulution.
