Pulled the trigger on a USP-1. I'll post a review after it's arrived and I've listened to it a couple weeks.

Jaton or Emotiva Preamp?
Hi All,
I'm in in the market for a cheapie preamp for a secondary system in the house. I've narrowed it down to the Emotiva USP-1, or a Jaton RC2000s.
The sources will be an Emotiva ERC-2 cd player, my PC running through an outboard DAC, and occasionally vinyl. The amp is an Odyssey Khartago Extreme amplifier connected to a pair of vintage Avid 103 speakers (the Avids are great old speakers, but are the next component to get upgraded after the preamp, probably to Tekton Lores).
Any guidance on the Emotiva vs. Jaton preamps is greatly appreciated. I know only my ears can really answer this question, but as so often happens nowadays, I don't have the luxury of auditioning them side by side.
Thanks in advance for your opinions,
Alex
