I think the 851N is a decent pre and excellent DAC. I just think as a pre it's missing some warmth and sounstaging. That is were the A21 is connected so plan #1 is to mate the new pre with the A21. The B&K is my 2nd system and I think replacing the pre in system 2 will yield the biggest gain. I'm kinda emotionally connected to the B&K because I have had it so long. It's a pretty good amp in a solid mid-fi system.

The Rogue is out of my price range. I saw a Rogue 99 Super Magnum on US Audio Mart but still a little out of my range.
Also, I forgot to mention but I don't need a phono stage. I will be selling my Rega P3-24.
