Down to 3 choices - opinions requested

I've narrowed my choices for a preamp down to three. Help me decide by ranking them for me. The choices are as follows:

Audio Mirror T-61
Eastern Electric Minimax
Sonic Frontiers SFL-1

The rest of my set-up is:

Innersound ISIS Hybrid Electrostatic Speakers (bi-amped)
REL Strata III Subwoofer
Shanling T-100 CDP
Sonic Frontiers Power 2 amp for panels
Adcom GFA 5800 amp for woofers

The Audio Illusions and VTL are nice, but not better then the Modwright preamp.. This if for C123666.

So far it's 3 SFL, 1 Minimax and a lot of others I haven't even considered.

Appreciate the inputs so far

Rare at Audiogon: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?preatube&1128872377

I use one with my Krell Ksa-250 and Apogee Duetta Signature speakers...just add some good NOS tubes. No remote and single ended in case that matters.

P.S. I do not know the seller

Another vote for Sonic Frontiers.

Audible Illusion is very good, but awkward to use and service is questionable.

If you can step up to the newer SF Line series, you can utilize your Power 2 XLR input and balanced circuit. Line 1 can be had for <$800 now a day.
