Got the preamp yesterday. Haven't given it a bunch of listening yet but first impressions were noticable. Specially was surprised by the change in soundstage widening and deepening. Also seemed to aid in the separation of instruments a little. Definitely added top end which I thought was a little rolled before. One negative is that it seems to have gotten rid of the silent/pure black transitions between tracks. Not sure I notice any difference in the playback of a track. Working with brand new interconnects too so I have that to contend with as well. And less than ideal cable routing due to my space.
Overall very enjoyable and going to give this at least a solid month or two before thinking about doing anything.
