Without knowing what you're looking for in a preamp, all I can say is that I am very happy with my McIntosh C220, a tube/SS hybrid full-function preamp. List is ~$4K, used usually under $3K. I did replace the stock tubes with Mullard 12AX7 reissues, for about $80. Smooth, detailed, free of listening fatigue and wonderful soundstage width and hieght. I am thinking the system you listed might benefit from having some glass somewhere in the system, and the preamp is a great place to add it.
a pre-amp around $4000 for my system
My system is
Bel Canto CD 3t transport
Bel Canto DAC 2.5
Bryston 7B-St mono block- amp
Magnaplaner MG 1.6 speaker
My music taste is jazz and classical
I am looking for a pre-amp around $4000 new or used. Have listen to Jeff Rowland Capri, its good at this price range also consider Bal Canto Pre3VB, Audio Research Ls 17.
