best preamp ever - cost is no object


Hello there,

I am in the running for a new preamp, cost is no object.
Would appreciate to hear comments from you out there.
Thinking about Lyra Connoisseur 4.2 SE among others.
Poweramp is Tenor 150, speakers are Eidolon diamonds.
Thanks for your help and experience.

The two finest with which I have much experience are the Atma-Sphere MP-1 and the CTC Blowtorch. Disclaimer - I peddle one and owned the other. With suitable system matching, they're in the same league.
Even though I own Chapter Audio gear,George at Dehavilland, brought his Mercury2 over to my house and I cried(well at least my eyes got teary.LOL).Regardless of price that pre has "balls".
Gary Dodd's new battery tube preamp. Check it out at the audio circles. According to Gary this is his best preamp to date and will compete with the very best.
