Bent Audio Autoformer vs Tube Pre

Has anyone compared the two? I'm thinking of building a fully balanced Bent Autoformer unit.

If you have compared the two, what do you think?

I built a 26 DHT tube preamp using the Bent Audio autoformers in double duty as both the output "transformers" and volume controls. Sounds incredible! Kills my Supratek in transparency, detail and immediacy. 26 Preamp 26 Preamp Internal .
