I have auditioned the cassonova, I did not feel that the sound quality on par with other preamps in its price range, proceed, ead oav, lex mc1,classe ssp25, and the krell hts, I have owned the Lex mc1, classe ssp25, ead ovation, each had its pluses and minus, I had just about givin up finding the holy grail of preams, then I found the Krell, it is better on ht than the lex, and on par musicly with the classe. there is also something else to consider, try emailing ead with a question, even if you own their products they won't respond, classe is good service but located in canada if you have problems. I don't know about theta on service, but I hear they are very good, I also think the lex is way overated imo, to sum up, try to listen to as many as you can, and be sure to test the company's response to your questions before you buy, a lot of these high end manufactures have a lot to learn about customer service, good luck
