Preamp shootout...Predictions on which will be the best?

[Nascimento]

This has been a very informative journey. I placed an order today (after demo)....for an Accuphase C-3900. I've also found in my system I prefer the Mu1 Tambaqui combination over the Mu2. I have a very busy day and next several days, and will describe my findings and how I arrived at these decisons.

Today marks ten days since I received my Accuphase C-3900, the power (A-80) hasn't arrived yet, at the moment I'm listening to the C-3900 with an old power krell, I'm really enjoying it!
I have high expectations for this pre amplifier!

Congrats. I remain very pleased with the C3900. Adrian of Audio Excellence Canada did a recent Youtube video review of the A-80. He did a great job of describing the sound of the higher end Accuphase gear. His description of what he was hearing with the A-80 mirrors the characteristics I am hearing with the C3900 running into the quick and transparent Gryphon Essence amp.
