You have the Glasshouse TVC kit (can be bought build and tested for 850£) sold by Hifi Collective, a very snake oil audio component and kits store from the UK. I saw and heared it once (was a diy build) and it seems to work quiet well.
But i still prefer a no gain but buffered preamp above it. That (when done right) has no sound coloration worth mentioning and does not cost that much to make. Use good opamps for the buffer, the real good ones like the OPA1642 cost less than 3€ (and much less in big quantities).
Ans nothing against a "real" preamp. I actually now use my MiniDSP Flex as preamp in my main system and that is also transparant and actually costed less than this preamp, and has dsp and so...
