RE: Best Preamps Of The Last 25 Years.

I'm a tube preamp guy. It would be very hard to boil my preferences down to just one "best" preamp:

Best overall sound - Radu Tarta's Shiny Eyes 4P1L DHT Line Stage
Second place finish - K&K Mir 12P17L DHT Line Stage

Most versatile and still sounds great - any BAT preamp w/ 6922 tubes (no phono)
Second place - Conrad Johnson PV 6-12, Premier 14 & 16, Classic/Classic 2 (w/ phono)

Best budget preamp w/ phono - Croft, any model

Preamp I want to try next: Backert, either model. Supposed to be like a CJ on steroids.
