CAT vs. Aesthetix vs. Supratek - Preamp Choice

Hello All - I'm looking for some advice here. I want to upgrade my Modulus 3a with either a Supratek Chenin, and Aesthetix Janus, or a CAT Ultimate Mk 2 - and could use some advice. My system is linked below (I promise to respond to questions soon - and cut me a break Marco!) I am looking for something that images well, is dynamic (don't want to lose dynamism with Quads), and is just overall musical. Has to be a full function preamp (phono included). Remote is nice but not a requirement.

Can those with experience provide some thoughts on the difference between these preamp flavors? Good advice is highly appreciated!

Thanks, Peter

I'd be interested in the CAT/Aesthetix comparison, particularly if someone has heard them both in the same system.

BTW, from talking to the CAT designer Ken Stevens, I'd guess that he might take objection to the idea that his preamp offers a "flavor" to be used synergistically with components of other "flavors".
