@dweller I saw Kevin's video which is what turned me onto BAT. I was looking into the Primaluna Dialogue Premium when I saw his video about the VK-33SE. That one is out of my price range, unless I find a used one. And I haven't seen one...
The Primaluna is right in the sweet spot for my budget. The BAT's I'm looking at will be at the very top end and won't leave any room for cables. If I could find a preamp in that 3k to 3500 range, I leave myself money for some good cables. Once I get over $4k, that extra cash is not so available.
Any particular McIntosh or Audio Research preamps you can suggest in my range? Used is not a problem for me.
Also read very good things about synergy between Accuphase and Focal. But not sure I'll be able to find any Accuphase Preamps even used in my price range.
