Minimax Preamp vs........the world?


Okay....I'm about 74.5% certain that I'll order a Easter Electric Minimax Tube preamp to go with my new Odyessey Stratos and Maggie 1.6/QR speakers. Cost for the basic unit is just 1100 bucks and I can't find anyone unhappy with it. And of course tube rolling can elevate the Minimax further. But before I order....anyone out there think there's something better available NEW? Keep my speakers in mind. I've dropped the need for a remote since my Oppo CD player has a volume control of it's own.

Thanks for any comments....

do not buy the miniax tube preamp. i had it in my stereo system . i was evaluating the preamp for a review. i had already reviewed the cd player.

i lent the preamp to a friend and fellow audiogon member, to cooroborate my listening results. we both agreed that the preamp had a frequency response that was top heavy, analytical and unpleasant to listen to for more than 15 minutes.
