Try comparing with something like a Symetrix 302 if you're looking in

I appreciate the tip. Obviously you feel it will perform better than
the VTB-1? Will do some inquiring.
Oh, absolutely. It's basically a cheap SSM2017 chip in a box, but it's
a well-designed layout with a decent power supply. It's sort of the
canonical mid-range console preamp sort of design. Nothing to write home
about, but fairly quiet, effective, and it does the job with no silly
gewgaws or effects.

Not SSM2017 anymore in the Symetrix 302. It's been an INA103 for about
15 months according to my neighbor that works at Symetrix. I have one
here with the INA103 and it's pretty darn decent sounding.
