Preamplifier for the NAD C275BEE Power Amplifier

Looking for the musical and transparent solid state Preamplifier
for the NAD C275 Power Amplifier. I tried with the NAD C165 and Parasound P5
but the sound was one dimensional and no details. I have CD Player connected directly to the Amp.
The sound it excellent: details, high sound stage behind the speakers.
Problem is the volume since it's very difficult to adjust it (using variable input, 100 k Ohms).
Thank you in advance on suggestions. The budget is $2500.00, used or new.

If the P5 wasn't doing it for you, what cables were you using?  That just sounds odd, by all accounts it gives great detail and imaging.

The C275BEE is mid fi, but has good performance for the money, maybe you'd be happy with their integrated C375BEE.
