Blue Circle 21.1 vs Eastern Electric Minimax


Seems there are plenty of fans in each of these camps, just wanted to hear the pros and cons. Am looking for an inexpensive but high-performing tube pre that is close to neutral but still provides a bit of tube magic, and these two have made it to my short list.
BTW, the BC I am looking at is with remote, not Shallco... is there convincing argument that Shallco is noticeably better? And I know Minimax is not remote, but it is cheaper.

HellO-O?
Stop teasing me like this, guys. I looked for this review and of course, it is not on this site. On the Asylum? Searched for Gunbei, and minimax + BC 21. Nothing. I would like to get some feedback soon as decision time is near, very near...
Deanmiester emailed me to tell KCK he wants $25 forwarded to his email: GorgeousDean@PreampComparo.com if you want to view his premium review of BC and EE. I've paid the amount, and I'd tell'yah its well worth it. He speaks straight from the horse's mouth unlike those 6moons reviews that sensationalize everything from self-adhesive stamps to non-liquid nail polish remover. (yes, i did just wake up)

You also get a monthly newsletter with your subscription filled with pictures that the Enquirer will pay handsomely for.
$25?! That SOB gouged me for $50! And I didn't get no tabloid pics neither. I gotta' bone to pick with you Dean! Yeah, OK, it was worth it. I laughed. I cried. I am a better man for having read it. My sex life has improved, and my stool is a bit more firm and consistently floats to the top of the bowl. Thanks Dean!

You guys got off easy, just $$. Not only did he hit me up for $20 but he made me promise to name my first son "Gilbert" for some strange reason.

Hey you goofballs, I finally found this thread!! Oh, and thanks for the all the money, I think I got about $100 so far.

Here's the review I sent to Mad Marco, Dirty Dan and Evil Ed. First, I should say that I have definite tastes in the way I like music presented, so please keep that in mind when reading this long-winded babble. Hopefully, it isn't so filled with such crazy prejudices that anyone not sharing my view of what is desirable in audio playback can extract what's important to them and discard the rest. Wait, didn't Bruce Lee say something like that?

Oh well, here goes...
