Pre-Amp decision from a Newbie - Need Help

I am looking for a solid state pre-amp less than $1000.00 that will fit in my newbie rigg, as I have just entered the serious world of fine audio reproduction. I have a Rega Planet 2000 as my source, along with a Rotel RB1080 amp driving a pair of B&W DM604S3's. I listen to progressive rock and metal, which demands the quick bass punch, long deep melotron notes, and warmer mids along with super crisp high's. Is there a pre-amp that can fit in this setup? Perhaps being able to add a tuner for the other half might come in the futureas well. HELP!!!

Audio by Van Alstine has:

Omega Star, SS preamp in two different configurations:

SL, (Straight Line) and EC (Enhanced Capability with tone controls).

Transcendence 6, hybrid preamp in SL.

Also, Trancendence 5, which is all tube. I own the AVA Super Pas 3, one of the all tube precursors to the T5. Can run it 24/7. It just smiles back. Sounds great.

All can be had for under $1k. each.

AVA quality is the highest. Bang for the buck cannot be beat. I have owned AVA gear for over 25 years. Never a hiccup. Never a regret. AVA has a VERY faithful customer base. Real value for real listeners.
