I am waiting for a beta test unit of PS Audio's BHK Signature PreAmplifier.

BHK for those who haven't been following the PS Audio threads are the initials of Bascom King, i.e. same King commissioned to work on the LCD4-matching headphone amplifier.

From all accounts, the same magic he's created in the BHK power amps are also in the preamp and headphone amp.

And out of left field, the PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium HP integrated amplifier is also well worth an audition - the HP stands for High Power (double the power tubes) as well as Headphone. The Headphone output is driven by tubes, and is NOT an afterthought design with some cheap op-amps.
