Audible Illusions Preamp

I would appreciate if someone can enlighten in chronological order which preamp in the Audible Illusions line that came out first and which is the current model from the L1, L2, 3A, 2C, (or any others I've missed). It would also be useful if someone can advise whether the sonic character is consistent throughout the range or there is a particular model that stands out from the rest in sound quality.

Thanks in advance.

I once owned the original Modulus..... a model prior to the Modulus 1.   WAAY back a long time ago (circa 1981-ish).

So, has anyone compared on how these vintage designs compare to more modern designs in the $1000 to $1500 price range?   It seems like tube design hasn't moved THAT much forward.... unless you go and spend $20,000 to $50,000 on an amplifier, which is quite a frequent option today.  (Anything is good if built to that price LOL.)

@hiend2 I’m not doubting anyone’s horror stories about the delays, I’m just adding that my own personal experiences were different. Maybe he just likes me because I’m and old codger and I told him in no uncertain terms I wanted to be certain that his dates were reliable because if I died before the new preamp arrived, my kids and grandkids wouldn’t know what to do with it (which made him laugh out loud).
