That's a good idea. I will do a full review with pictures of 'The Satchmo'
He's a great engineer..
So many great ideas. Particularly impressed with David Coe's ideas and philosophy. I may well contact him to price me a preamp. Looking forward to Westflower's review of his Satchmo.
Heard Modwright stuff at various shows and was impressed. Clarity, grip, engaging ....
The idea of getting a Croft Pre and retrofitting a remote is very appealing. The Emotiva looks very appealing.
Lots of ideas which I need to use to refine what type of preamp I really need/want. I'm inclining towards extreme simplicity. Something like 3 line level inputs and two parallel outputs (I have two power amps) and a remote just for volume/mute. But having more 'bells and whistles' would also be great. Too much choice in this hobby. :)

Check out the Promitheus Audio TVC passive pre-amp, excellent value for the money, not remote control. I recently bought one for a shade over £200, really excellent sounding...!!!

I used to own an Azur 840E, replaced it with an Icon Audio LA4mkii, a Pure Sound L10 followed. As good as the other two pre's were, the L10 was in a different league. I bought it for £1200 on Ebay and it was magnificent. The only reason why I replaced it with an Audio Note pre is because I was looking for a pre with an integrated phono stage.
The Tron is also a good suggestion

I'm baffled by the exotica/esoterica, and the prices, and names I have never heard of.
I presume that the ownership of these preamps is based not on technical spec, but on what owners hear as superior sound.
