Comparing Ultraverve to CJ 16 or Supratek preamps


I have been a very happy owner of the Dehavilland Ultraverve for the last year but like most here I start thinking about some of the other preamps one reads about in the forums here. I don't feel it is lacking in any areas but still I wonder if there is even more magic to be had with something else (strangely I rarely see any Ultraverves for sale and that might mean something in itself).

One is the Conrad Johnson 16 LS (1 or 2 or even the 17) and the other the Supratek preamps. So if anyone has compared any of these two with the Ultraverve I would be interested to read your thoughts on them.

I also have a DeHavilland UltraVerve. It replaced an Eastern Electric Minimax. I think the UltraVerve is the next level up, more transparent, sweeter and more dense images. The Minimax was faster with deeper bass. I would like to know how the UltraVerve compares against the BAT 31SE or higher.
Nakolawala,
Can you tell me how do the sound of the modified UltraVerve compared to the stock one ? I'm interested to know the differences besides the remote control. Who knows, I might upgrade mine if I feel is a step up.
