PS Audio BHK Signature preamplifier

Hi :-)
Has anyone heard this one?
And/or compared it with some other high-end preamps in the $5.-10.000 range?
I have Welborne Labs Star Chief 45 Monos and Avantgarde Acoustic Mezzo speakers (107 dB/(Wm)), and I'm now using a BAT VK-53SE preamp. I'm not sure of that running the BAT versus the SET amps brings the best out of the BAT.........
The BHK have got good reviews on SoundStage and audiophilia...........
Thanks :-)

Hello
I have a BHK Preamp with Pass Labs XA 160.5 mono blocks powering Focal Electra Be 1037 speakers. I have been very satisfied with the system synergy. The speaker-Amp combo was excellent and then I added the PS Audio Preamp last with reasonable expectations as it was so good already but it surprised me when it took my system to another level. Very Happy Now!

Exciting, thanks :-)
Do you use the standard Psvane tubes or have you replaced them with even better ones?

I have used Sonic Frontiers Line 2, Jadis, Quicksilver Full Pre, Oppo headphone balanced DAC Preamp and PS Audio HPA.

Really like the Quicksilver full pre but not balanced or remote so I added the BHK. The synergy was just right on with the BHK and Pass, extra special.
