Jay,
I am probably a bit late, but have you tried tube rolling on your Chardonnay?
If you are using stock or wrong tubes (I am not saying the stock one are bad, but there are much better ones) you haven't heard what the pre is capable of. You can also perfectly taylor the pre to you liking and to better suit your power amp and speakers
