best preamp ever - cost is no object

In my humble opinion, the best starts with being Differentially Balanced= TRUE balanced, but to appreciate what that does, your amp needs to be DB also
In that vein, though I've never heard it, Tortuga Audio preamps tech is first rate and likely to be up high on any list,


it would be on mine, but I am running my Oppo 105 via VVCs (WireWorld series 8 XLRs to EVS 1200 amp) to very good effect. I believe Tortuga has a return policy but at 2K Im afraid I would love it too much

tbgs +1 for being a Geoiff Kait accolite


I did teleport, have his pebbles, ceramic outlet  covers, springs under everything, New Dark Matter, stickers that are placed over the bar codes...

And while Ive heard improvements at every turn, the 2 with the biggest bang IMHO, are his springs and New Dark Matter

The preamp that I would place in my system first...the new CAT SL1 Legend Black Path Extreme.

Naim Statement is the best preamp I have heard.  

What’s wrong with you guys , what about the Bat Rex preamp, I own one and have had all the above but the Dartzeel. Probably because they don’t pay for reviews like the other manufacturers.Any others agree?
