I am thinking about Bottlehead vs. Pearl vs. Aikido kits. What are the opinions? I like the fact that the Bottle is a complete kit but not sure if enough gain for 2.5mv Bluepoint cart. I'm using Aikido line pre with 10db gain into Pass A40. Anybody with hands on with these let me know.

FWIW, Bottlehead has announced a new model of phono pre - at $740, more than twice the cost of the Seduction with C4S kit, so one would expect something quite special.
