FMR looks interesting. Have you worked with their
stuff?
Not personally. As I said this stuff is very difficult to find in
Europe. If you google in the rec.pro.audio newsgroup you will find
several opinions of the RNC (compressor) and RNP (preamp).
FMR isn't the only option for affordable high end
preamps. Check out the do it yourself (DIY) preamp
kits at

Interesting, but these are different beast, I think the hamptone pre
must be much more colored (transformer, two stage jfet amplifier) and
less versatile, but it can have an interesting sound in some situation.
You can find a lot of DIY audio stuff, but you need time and skills ...
I have skills (I am an electronic engineer) but not so much time !!
