Well, I believe you can have ALMOST everything with the SUPERPHON Revelation IIWhen I was looking for a new pre-amp a couple of years ago, I compared it at 
home with the PS Audio 5.(Back then the PS was $350 more expensive). It did 
everything the PS 5 did, only better, and on top of it, it had a very realisticpalpable, full sound. Back then, I was trying to learn to play the tenor sax, 
and its sound was very vivid in my memory.  When I played some of my favorite 
Jazz albums containing tenor sax, with the PS 5 it sounded like a kazzoo. With
the SUPERPHON, it sounded almost exactly as my own tenor sax did.  I even liked
it more than the cheaper KRELL pre-amp (honest!).  
I still don't understand why TAS and Stereophile never fully reviwed it! 
Especially STEREOPHILE, where it was the cheapskate's hinting at its greatness
which made me want to audition it. 
IMHO, of course!
