$2K to spend on used SS linestage, but which?

Tank-like build, quality "guts," rich sound are critical. It will replace (because I'm a hobbyist and want to try something else) my beloved c-j Premier 14, which had those attributes in spades .
Will be used, for the time being, with a Classé DR-8 (old, but still oh so sweet) amp, and the latest cdp from either Electrocompaniet or Accuphase.
I listen equally to jazz, classical, rock, opera.

I just replaced my SS pre with a CJ premier 16LS and will never go back to SS...

For whatever that is worth.

If you feel the need to change, while it was not what I was looking for, the Rogue Audio 99 Magnum had a nice tube/ss sound that will be very appealing to many in the $2,000 range.
