Preamp with deep soundstage suggestions

I'm looking for suggestions for a preamp that throws a deep holographic soundstage. I am not as hung up on transparancy or neutrality as I am with lush, deep, imaging. Considering new or used but less than $2000. Associated equip; Graaf 50/50 power amp, Metronome CD-V1 CDP, Jamo Concert 11 speakers. Thanks, Frank

Danet1 Used I saw a Conrad Johnson PV-5 with new tubes and the added benefit of a phono stage. Price 575.00! Depth it has plenty of and also a great midrange. Another old classic that has as great depth and is ALSO

(Continued from last post hit the wrong button) quite transparent is the ARC SP-8 if you can find one used at a reasonable price (800.00 or less). Both these pre-amps will provide what you are looking for at a bargain. I am quite familiar with both of these pieces and can't recommend them highly enough based on your criteria and price point. I still use an SP-8 and really can't want for more than it offers without spending MUCHO more. Good luck!
