PS Audio BHK Signature preamplifier

Thanks for advice :-)
I have had a number of BATs (30, 31SE, 51SE, 52SE and now 53SE) and ARCs (Ref 3 and Ref 5) the last 10 years, and have preferred the BATs. My sources are balanced, so I would prefer to have that option for the preamp.
Anyway, I will test the PS Audio BHK during Christmas, so we'll see what happens :-)
But good to have other proposals for potential further testing :-)
As I wrote above, I think too many people overlook the importance of a high quality preamp.

well i probably should not be answering this as this is the one piece of PS gear i do not own. I have the BHK amp,  P10 power conditioner,  the DSD DAC, and the new and unbelievable DMP transport (best piece i have ever owned sonically when compared to its great predecessor the PWT).  So my feeling is that anything they make is great gear,  and a great value.  I would bet the BHK pre will beat anything in is price range and then some.

I have  NAS > Auralic Aries > PSA DSD DAC > PSA BHK PRE > PSA BHK 250 >  POLK LSI707 speakers (set of powercords, digital & analog XLR VoodoCables interconnects) 

Sound phenomenal to me. Also, I want to mention that PS Audio support is excellent and very very customer oriented. Responsive fast and they treat you like a king. 

Offtopic but if you decide to buy - I highly recommend Walter Liederman (http://www.underwoodhifi.com/) who I bought all equipment from. Really easy to work with and he is proud of the equipment he sells. 

By the way, I bought all my stack 'blind' without auditioning first solely based on internet reviews. I like the sound ) though a lot! 

I'll mention I'm in NYC and a PS Audio dealer as well.  I have bhk 300 Mono blocks and DS dac in for people to hear and will have the preamp in as well.  Triodepicturesound. The latest PS gear is a massive bargain.  Never heard my TAD CR1'S sounds as good.  

I have the BHK Pre along with the BHK 300 Monos, the DS DAC and the DMP Memory player. The Pre is excellent. Versatile too. 5 XLR/RCA inputs.
