I can't help you with any particular comment for mentioned preamp etc. ,but-looking at these price tags-mebbe is time for little DIY adventuring

the wellborne does come in kit form for $1295 but i can just barely plug in a power cord let alone diy.

I also can't help with any particular comment on the preamp, but I have some Welborne power amps and they are very very good. His DIY kits are generally priced not much higher than the cost of the parts, and considering the amount of time to build it, it is not a bad deal at all.
