Convergent Audio SL1 Ultimate vs

I am looking to buy a convergent Audio sl1 ultimate preamp with phono; however. As I wait for one to become available I was wondering if there were other preamps with phono that would be competitive with the ultimate’s sound at the similar used price range. I am interested in your thoughts

Just curious what you think a used CAT Ultimate might go for?

I had a CAT ultimate when it was still current, very many years ago. It was an outstanding pre, I am not sure there are many (any?) better choices out there for 2.5-3.2 k, I certainly cannot think of any!

That seems cheap for that preamp. But there are other preamps which compare favorably. Is your power amp single-ended or balanced?

I have a Convergent Audio SL1 Ultimate in excellent condition.  It includes the phono stage.
