Preamp Recommendation For My System

I have an Ayre C-5xe mp universal sacd/cd player, Cary

SA-200.2 amplifier, CJ PV-10 Al Pre-amp, and Selah Tempesta

Speakers. Both the speaker and cd player are more on the

neutral sounding side of the ledger, with the amp and pre-

amp on the warmer side of neutral. I am looking to upgrade

the pre-amp and considering these pre-amps:

1)CJ-ET-3
2)Modwright Ls 100
3)Audio Horizons 2.3
4)SAS Audio 11A

Any thoughts on which one of these would best fit my

system?

Thanks for the reply. I was strongly considering the ET-3.

I actually like the sound of the PV-10, however, it was an

entry level model at that time. I'm sure your pre-amp is

much better sounding. I am not able to audition one since

we have no dealer. Please comment on the soundstaging,

bass,etc.

Markwatkiss, what are the general characteristics in sound

of the 2.3? Is it more neutral or lush sounding? Does it

lean more towards say Audio Research or CJ? I am just

trying to get an idea of what kind of sound it leans

towards. Thanks

Pops,I appreciate your recommending the Ultraverve. Do
you have the UltraVerve 3 model? Please comment on the improvements over your previous CJ models. I did some research on the DeHavilland website and it looks like real good performer and value. Thanks
