Opportunity to buy the best Preamp... but which?

If Andrew the author of this thread hasn't found a preamp by now, he is not likely to do so. In the past seven months of this post, we have flogged this to death, and has turned more into a blog than anything else. All have made valid points in regards to personal choices, based hopefully on real ownership and/or have actually heard thier recommendations in real world environments. I believe it is time to move on or at least get back to the solid substance of this thread, although I belive that Andrew by now has made his choice. Well done to all the respondents of this post.

I do believe that the person that initiated the thread fully expected us to chime in with what we feel is the best preamp money can buy. This being based on our own personal experience. Therefore, my uphill climb has led me to believe that my Messenger preamp that I currently own is the best.

I would buy an Audio Aero with analogue inputs and volume control.

I'll bet you sell AA sounds real.

What say you?

I do sell Audio Aero!!!!! Probably better than most of the preamps he is looking at. Plus he upgrades his CD Player as well. Is that a problem for you??????
