For under 1000.00 the BAT VK-30 ( 6 tubes ) is still a great preamp & is fully balanced. I have one for only 749.00, 8/10.

Rouge 66

I just got an Ultra 4A and its wonderful. Very full bodied, warm and detailed. In word--musical. Here's a link to a review: http://www.tnt-audio.com/ampli/mad4multra_e.htmlI've heard the Octal 6 is great, but have not heard it myself. The Mapletree products have to be one of the best values out there.
