choice of pre amp


want to buy a used tube pre amp between $2500 $ $4000. So far I have heard good things about the Calypso,ARC LS26,CJ 16LS, and Lamm LL Deluxe. I know that the ls 26 is a bit more but would consider. All opinions would be appreciated.

Thanks.

If you use unbalanced inputs/outputs, consider buying the $1995 Audio Note Kits L2 Custom demo at:

Bill's hardly used it. The custom L3 he just built for me is the work of a real craftsman. The parts used in these custom units are among the best available at any price. The pictures don't do justice to the looks - understated but very attractive.
