PreAmp shortlist:ARC LS8MKII, BC BC21, Rogue 99?


These are the three pre amps I believe I have narrowed it down to. Has anyone done a comparison the three sonically? Am I missing any good tubed pre amps under the $1500 dollar mark? Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks,

regarding noise floor on the BAT VK3i...that not charicteric of bat preamps in general.
Regarding noise floor.... was it background hiss with your ear up to the speaker and no music playing? If so, this is very typical of many tube preamps but usually not noticable while playing music.
Abecollins,
It was a background hiss with no music playing, but I did not have my ear up to the speaker I could hear it from my listening position.
