In order of quality, I'd say:

                       Amps
                       ----

             Electron Kinetics Eagle 7A
             Threshold s/500 Series II
           Electrocompaniet Ampliwire II
                VSP Labs TransMos


For transistor Pre-Amps, try looking into RGR (Robert Grodinsky Research)
or the PS Audio units. PS Audio has a kit version, BTW. Still, the best pre-amps
are made by the tube people, namely Audio Research, CJ, and Berning.
