I was recommending the pre90 for a few months on A'gon. Though I now sold mine to go back to the Benchmark LA4. Folks were telling me that the pre90 was a desktop level device and not worth even discussing. I laughed when I said it would be reviewed on Stereophile and then that seemed to bring everyone to attention. A lot of sheep.
I now get a lot of DM's now asking me privately about the pre90. I always say that the only 2 amps that worked for me were the Benchmark AHB2 and the Parasound A21+. A lot of amps did not work well for me. However, the AHB2 and A21+ were great with the pre90. The pre90 was at the same sound level as the Benchmark LA4 with these 2 amps. Though the LA4 worked great with ALL the amps. I used it with.
