Second the Atma-Sphere MP-1. Detail, imaging, sound-staging, musicality are awesome. When matched with an AS amp, even better. Not cheap, but worth it.
My favorites of the 30-40 preamps I have heard thus far are: Kondo M1000 mk2 and I am sure the other two are nice as well New Audio Frontiers Absolute mk2 ARC Reference 3 Ayon Spheris
There are some others I have ehard that are really nice, but not quite my cup of tea.
Others I want to hear that I feel would become favorites once heard: Shindo Giscours and the like Tron Syren Allnic Audio L-4000 "The Messenger" CAT Legend VTL 7.5 mk2 Einstein "The Tube" CJ Art 3 Wyetech Opal
