Preamp recommendation


In the market for a new pre-amp and looking for suggestions. I know this is very subjective to one’s tonal qualities so let’s consider all options in the $2k range.

My current system is analog and I have no interest in digital. Currently running VPI Scout, Elac Alchemy PPA-2, Parasound A21 and Q Acoustics 3050i.

I’m leaning towards a used Parasound JC-2 or Wyred4 Sound STP SE, both in the price range. I had a previous post considering the Jolida or Vincent but have decided not to go hybrid based on inconsistent reviews.

Thoughts?

Interestingly enough, @georgehifi  just blasted another poster today for making positive comments on Class-D amplification. That poster is in the process of developing a Class-D amp and George hammers him for promoting a product that he will eventually be selling. In the very same day, as he does often, he promotes the virtues of passive pre-amps. He has sold passives himself for years. He blatantly, and often promotes product categories that he sells in this forum. Apparently it is A-ok for georgie to break his own unwritten rule. 
You completely missed the point sunshine, but it doesn't surprise me. The person you put on blast this morning wasn't promoting his product either,. He was discussing a class of product. Kind of like what you are doing here. That didn't stop you from saying that he was. Product protection mode is what you always call it, though he never mentions his own product. The shoe fits on your foot too sunshine. What a hypocrite.
