Anyone using an Audio Mirror T61 pre?

Any owners care to share their thoughts about this pre? The DAC seems to be getting a lot of positive buzz.

Thanks.

I'm thinking of putting together a second system and this is on my short list of moderately priced tube pres. Anyone out there compare this to the TAD 150?

The TAD 150 uses two 12AU7s, 12AX7s, or 12AT7s and has solid state rectification as where the T-61 uses two 6DJ8s (6922s) and has a tube for rectification. I will not say one is better than the other because they are both going to sound different but in a positive way & will come down to personal preferences. I will say they both sound excellent! Either way, you can't lose.
