I have a Joule and I've had the Funk. For unbalanced and dollar for dollar, the Funk at $1100 is stupendously good.


Best meaning???  What are you looking for the preamp to do in your system?
I’m new at posting to the forum, but is this a real question?  There are so many variables and so many unknowns to the OPs intent to the question.

The best is the TriangleArt preamp IMO.. I love it and have not heard anything better! If you get a chance to demo one, I’d highly recommend it..
