Has anyone listened to the Sun Audio preamps?

I own a Sun SV-300BE power amp and I've read a lot of user opinions regarding the Sun 2A3 amp, but I've never seen anything written on the Sun preamps. I'm very curious about these.

Both of these feature Tamura line output transformers and I'm curious as to how these pre's might compare to other output transformer preamps like the Audio Note M3 or DIY preamps like the Audio Note Italia WOT preamp, or the Welborne Labs (or Electraprint) Ultrapath preamp.

I can't vouch for the sun pre-amplifier, but I have used a variety of Tamura interstage and output transformers over the years commercially and I can vouch for their excellent to exceptional quality.
Current production is generally regarded in Japan afaik as being on par with the original Tamura product.

If you like the Sun Amplifier, I would expect more of the same.

Should you decide to get one please post your experiences here.
