Ps Audio BHK preamp Vs ARC best preamps

Hello to everyone in this forum, I'm Mario from Venice, Italy and I'm a new member even if I read your posts since a lot of time.

First of all sorry for my written english, I will try to do my best.

I would like to know if anyone has been able to compare the BHK preamp with the best of ARC production and in my opinion this means with LS 22, LS 25 (both the versions...), Ref 3, Ref 5SE and so on.

Thank you for sharing  your impressions.

Has anyone compared them to something like the McIntosh C2600?

From what I've heard, the through-the-preamp or direct-to-amp question is like many in audio:  both can be good, depending on the usual factors.  Impressions I've gotten indicate audiophiles are split about 50-50 on the question, both, no doubt, with good reason.  Meaning, aside from any meaningful technical questions such as that as raised by JohnnyR above, the only real route is to try both.  My preamp maker and dealer feel, for my equipment, it's better through the preamp, although "no one understands why".

So, whatever happened with this experiment? I to am contemplating moving to a BHK Pre or LS27 and a bit torn. Would love to get this thread going again. 

Mario-tutto a posto?
