PS Audio BHK signature preamp


I was reviewing another preamp post and stumbled upon a recommendation for the PS Audio BHK signature preamp currently half price ($7,000 - selling for $3,500) directly from PS Audio & (unfortunately) decided to research it. I say unfortunately, as I was not looking to buy a preamp.

It has excellent reviews, the audiogon forums speak highly of it, it is the perfect size, has an excellent HF amp (I need one), uses the same tubes as my Rogue RP-1 (I have some excellent NOS tubes) is fully capable with my Logitech Harmony One remote… seemingly a match made in heaven. I want it… and if not happily married, I would get it.


So looking for someone to talk me out of it. I know it will give me a good HF amp, full remote vs partial remote control, and better pride of ownership, vs an albeit excellent ‘entry’ preamp. But given my other components, will it sound the same, slightly better or significantly better? Is it too good for my system? Would I be better off upgrading another component? I currently wasn’t looking to upgrade my Rogue, but this seemed to be too good to pass. My current system:

Rogue RP-1 pre with NOS Telefunkon medical, Siemens nickel plate & Brimar CV4003 NOS tubes (rolling)

LSA Warp 1 amp

KEF R11 speakers

Rythmic F12SE sub w/miniDSP equalization

Aurender N150 streaming Qobuz

Chord Qutest DAC

Pro-ject 1Xpression carbon classic with Hana ML cart

Rega Aria phono stage

Focal Clear OG HF

Transparent + speaker cables, Mogami 2549 interconnects & Maze audio power cables

 

Prior to seeing the PS Audio deal I was considering the following upgrades:  (I am very component space constrained in my choices):

Pro-ject TT > Rega P8

Warp 1 amp > Benchmark AHB2

Please let me know your thoughts and/or recommendations.  Thanks!

@audphile1 The 760A is discontinued and replaced with the 761 at $14K… the model @yyzsantabarbara was high on. Nope.  
@luvtubes69 Dual mono would be very nice, but no room, and VERY happy with one stereo. Nice that I potentially migrate though!  
Thank you for all your outstanding advice! My system is very close to my nirvana. 

Possibly, or a new TT.  On the DAC side, leaning towards Hugo TT2. I like the Chord sound and footprint, and that may be their sweet spot above the Qutest. Don’t want Chi-Fi, Weis is too industrial looking, etc… but we shall see! The journey is a fun part of our hobby.  
 

Had TT2. It’s very different from Qutest. Was actually a bit quirky with my N200 requiring frequent reboots (used USB to connect the two). Sound was OK but sensitive to power quality. Overall good but not my cup of tea. You might like it though so give it a try if you can pick it up cheap.
