Tube Pre-amp BAT, ARC, EAR, Sonic Frontiers

Hello everybody
My system is:
Accuphase dp-57
Electrocompaniet AW120
Usher Audio CP-6381

I need a preamp. After reading lots of topics i marked personally: BAT, Sonic Frontiers, ARC and EAR pre-amps. Does anyone have any ideas which one could match better? Or maybe another suggestion?
Unfortunatly I have no possibility to listen to them in my system. EAR is an exeption. I will listen to EAR-864 tomorrow. But I am more inspired of SF and BAT.

Hi everyone

As I said earlier I got Belles 28A ref as a pre-amp. I am listening to my new system 2 days and impressions are not monosemantic. I got better bass control and wide scene but at the same time lost naturalness. Sound became nipped and a bit dry
:-(

I will try not to make hasty conclusions but.....

I'll put a vote in for the SF Line 3, very good on its right, but if you send it in to Pcx, Chris will turn it into something really really good.
