Thanks all for your replies. I am still looking over all the possibilities. As I mentioned, I've decided to go with a dedicated pre. In the $600 - $800 range I've found the C15, A3.2CR and a Classe 47.5 that I like.
If I bumped my budget a little, say to $1200 or so, would I be looking at pre's that are a lot better (I know "better" is subjective)? Since I am not too picky about brand name, and I'm not in too big of a hurry, I am really looking for a good deal. If I find a really good deal, and I am not totally happy, I can sell and buy something else and not lose too much.
Please, keep the suggestions and comments coming. I do appreciate it.
