Supratek - I think the Chardonnay is priced right around $2000. Seek out the thread entitled "Preamp Deal of the Century". At one time that thread had 26 million hits. I don't think I ever read through each and every of the 70+ pages. But I read enough to persuade me to bite the bullet on a Supratek. 

Wonderful, custom-built, point-to-point wiring, gorgeous. and Lifetime guarantee.

Great recommendations, I think, above. One of the nice things about so many of them is their high quality, robustness and reliability. I would not hesitate to pick up any one of them on the used market, if that was what I could afford, though I am not really familiar with Blue Circle.

My Supratek Cortese LCR is the first piece of equipment I have bought in a long time for which I paid full retail. And I've never had even a particle of buyers remorse. It's always simply been a tremendous source of satisfaction. Sounds great with solid state and also tube power amps.
