audionote m3 vs ear868, modwright or herron


I've got an Eternal Arts OTL power amp (pure bliss) but need a preamp with low output impedance to match. Currently going straight in to the OTL amp that is equipped with vol. poti. Need now preamp and preferbly with built-in phonostage- Was thinking of Audionote M3, Ear 868P , modwright 36.5 or Herron. price wise they are all about the sane to me.
Anybody got listening experiences on any of these in comparison. Have Meridian cd and Audionote E speakers. will buy probably TW acustics record player.
Thanks

Have Bill Baker at Bella Extreme assemble the Audio Note Kits L3 with the HiB C-core output trannies and his custom cap "flavoring" (no eletrolytics in the power supply). It mates perfectly with my Atma-Sphere MA-1 OTLs. Output impedance is only 10 Ohms and those upgraded C-core trannies coupling the output give a rich, detailed, sublime sound. Tubes used are readily available and cheap.
