Simaudio Moon 740P preamp vs. Ayre KX-5 Twenty

Anybody compared this to Ayre KX-5 Twenty? I really like the Ayre, but I can get a Demo Moon 740P for about $5K locally.

Any other solid state preamp that I should really look at ? I don't like tubes preamps, unless something "hybrid" like PS Audio BHK Signature Preamp.

Thanks!

I have a friend that all three "Twenty" pieces and he thought the preamp was the best of the three pieces.

In fact even after selling the amp and the DAC he kept the preamp for quite a while before going back to a tube preamp. Or quite a while for him anyway.
