2 Channel SS Preamp Suggestions

Hello A-goners,

I am in the final stages of making a preamp purchase to seperate a 2 channel system from my HT system with a preamp. I would really appreciate some feedback on the following SS units: Blue Circle CS (not the intergrated), Adcom GFP 750, Marsh P2000, Rotel RC 1090 and maybe your suggestions. I have a line on a BC 21.1 tube preamp if I decide for sure to go with tubes. My budget for SS preamp is up to $1500. Thanks to all in advance.

Classe CP-60 is a classic. I'm very happy with mine. It has a rich warm midband, without sounding a little dark, like some of the Classe amps can. It has balanced in's and out's remote and a Surround Sound Processor throughput to help integrate my HT and stereo. I left the high-end SSP game and have no intentions of returning. I just use a Denon receiver for HT, it only drives the surrounds. I run the FR & FL outs through the CP-60 SSP loop. Music is so much more rewarding. A friend of mine has a Sonic Frontiers Line 3 which sounds very nice also, but that isn't SS and is over your stated budget, so I won't go there.

Good luck,
John
