VTL, CTC, Lamm, ARC, EAR, Halcro, Mark Levison

Dear all,
I'm looking for a preamp to go with LAMM ML2.1. amps and Kharma Exquisite 1D speakers.
Lamm L2 Ref or Audio Research Ref3 seemed to be a good choice. But what about the VTL and the almost new EAR ?
Still why not a SS preamp ? then CTC blowtorch is supposed to be great, but confidential...more mainstream is the ML 32 or Halcro DM10..
Any help would be welcomed

David,

The ones from Audiogon will most likely have 110V power supply, which is a problem at this level of the game.

You may e-mail used Downunder - AFAIK he have had his VTL 7.5 with 230V ps for sale.

Well I believe that I will go for one of the following :
ARC Ref3
CJ ACT2 (newer than ART2.. any opinion about the differences between the two ?)
Lamm L2 Ref
VTL 7.5
Lyra Connoisseur 4.2 SE Line
concerning the DarTzeel, I think it would be too expensive and unknown to me
Thank you

I'm using a Shindo Giscours with Lamm ML2/Kharma Midi-Exquisite's with great success. Also had the CJ ACT2 which was also a very good match.
