Can't say I've owned any brilliant pres though my ARC LS9 is doing it pretty will. However there is one I'd want if I had to choose now today ...Benchmark LA4 'Line Amplifier', See link below.
Why? Check out the many reviews ...
HREF="https://benchmarkmedia.com/blogs/reviews"Basically this preamp is the proverbial "straight wire with gain". Granted that isn't what everybody wants; to be sure here would be lot of votes for the glamor the tube preamps can deliver. I don't need it, though.
