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 :-)

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.

Thanks :-)
A top class preamp is always essential, that can really turn a medium gear to a top gear :-)
I used to have the Welborne Labs Star Chief 45's  as well very nice amps just not enough juice for what I needed shame they do so much so well 2wc wasn't enough for the 94db speakers I was using.  I had good results driving them with an AudioNote M3 preamp seemed to work really nice, the M5 or M6 should be in your price range and much better then the M3 was. Or find a M2B that's the sweet spot in the range ( lower range of course)  
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.
