this journey is long but really interesting and exciting. as a music lover and an insane box swapper, I dont know when my journey ends but swapping boxes is truly fascinating as in many occasions, the change is substantial in my system. hifi and music are truly fantastic.
truly work of art from wadia, connect directly to my mono blocks without a pre but results are still wonderful and truly fantastic

Isol 8 substation integra
brilliant piece of kit which blocks all the DC offset in my mains while filtering perfectly for the whole system
My shortlist would include Atma-Sphere and VAC. These are solid companies offering quality products with stellar customer support.
Solid company...quality products...stellar customer support has culminated in my all BAT system :-)
There are other manufacturers that merit consideration, of course. If practical/possible, audition the valve pre's in your system/room ;-)
The AudiogoN community benefits from members with technical knowledge and alacrity. If I had a question relative to impedance, differential balance circuitry, et al., I would consult Almarg...he is a GREAT teacher!
I might add a valve pre in the future as I am too busy with my baby at the moment, just become a father for more than 10 days. so now doing research about valve pre, tt + phono!
