Searching for a new Pre/Pro Again

I used to have a NAD T753 that was mated to A Bryston 9BST with Paradigm Studio speakers. Recently I sold my NAD and bought a Outlaw 990. To my ear, outlaw separates different channels of sounds much more clean and clear. But the big issue is that the sound is more machine like, very bright, cool, and harsh. I used to enjoy Norah Jones (Comes away with me) very much with the NAD. But now I could not even sit through one single song. I am going to get rid of outlaw soon and thinking of going back to a NAD Pre/Pro. Do I have other alternatives that would not break my bank?
Thanks for all advice.

If you like the sound of your NAD, why not go up the NAD food chain to the Masters series? I absolutely love the sound and the detail from the Master Pre and Amplifier. I'm using the Masters here in my showroom mated with the PSB Speaker lineup (similar to Paradigm sound) and they sound wonderful.

Thanks for the suggestions.
Bryston sp2 is probably out of my reach at present. I heard reports saying Integra is not smooth for music reproduction.
Just sold the outlaw. Tried Pioneer Elite and do not like the resolution. What other suggestions for a sub $1000 or so processor? I want to buy used.
Appreciate your valuable advice, as always!
