Preamp upgrade

I have an opportunity to buy a threshold FET two series two. I currently have a Forte F44 pre. In your opinions would the upgrade be significant?

But I did own the Fet two(over thirty years ago)and thought it was very good until I replaced it with a Classe preamp. Like Mofi says it's a lateral move! Now if you want to do a nice upgrade you should get yourself a nice tube preamp. Check out the Quick Silver line stage at $995 new. I have been using that preamp for the last five years and it is better than any solid state preamp I have owned.

The forte sounded good but the threshold sounds better. More depth to the music. Sounds very natural. Worth $700.00 for sure.
