Default What is your Favorite 2 Channel Tube Preamp

I am fixing to buy a two channel tube preamp and wanted to get a quick opinion before i make the purchase. i was really looking at the Presonus ADL 600 but i was also taking a look at these below. also i may go ahead and get two different two channel tube preamps because i already have some API and Neve'ish Pre's and need about 4 to 6 more channels total . thought some tube preamps might be nice to have in the Pallette.

Presonus ADL 600 almost a definite on this one but any opinions would be appreciated
Manly Dual Mono Preamp
Sebatron VMP
UA 2-610
Groove Tubes SuPRE
A Designs MP-2A

but would appreciate any others anyone has had good experience with.

Thanks,
Russell

I have the ADL600 and am very happy with it. Great sounding
unit. My only peeve with it was it came with a bunch of screws loose
on the inside which i had to hunt down and re-seat. For a high-voltage
unit, this is really not a good thing. So i called Presonus and give 'em
some poo over that.

It's a great design though.

PS: I have an A-Designs Pacifica (solid state) on the recommendation of
Tony Shepperd and it is fantastic... I haven't heard the tube one .. but
A-Designs stuff it absolutely top-notch.

I'm on a low budget scale, but I tried the Aphex and the DBX two channel tube preamps and found them both to be noisy - I ended up keep the ART DPS 2 - it is quiet and sounds great - it also has all the features I need like digital outs, a great flat sound and a dozen or so preset curves.
