Looking at these specific preamps give me your opinions

Revelation Audio Raven would be my choice from your original list. No question. A highly regarded designer who has keenly refined the circuit topology and parts list. These things are important. Nay, critical, essential.

People often refer to the weight of a unit as a sort of shorthand for indicating the quality of the design. And that can be useful.  But it is a rather crude measure.

I'd be looking for point to point wiring and the use of 6SN7 tubes or similar (6J5, 6SL7, for instance). These tubes are regarded as classics for a reason. That is, they sound really good.

Of those preamps, the Raven preamp without question....but I'd add Aric Audio preamps to the mix, especially the Motherlode or Motherlode XL

Always wanted to hear the VRE-1C.

I am leaning towards the revelation.  I would love to see someone review it.

No shortage of fellow audio enthusiasts who own and have provided their candid and detailed thoughts on Aric Audio tube gear...myself being one of them. Take a few minutes and call him. His build experience and customer service is matched by only a few in this esoteric hobby of ours.
