small footprint balanced pre-amp


My previous post probably was not as well thought out as it should have been, and I got no replies so I'm trying again...

I'm looking for a great-sounding pre-amp that is at most 11" deep, that is fully balanced (has at least one set of balanced inputs and has balanced outputs).

tube or SS....

Price range: up to $5K, new or used....

Any thoughts? the only ones I've found are the Rowland Capri and the Coda Technologies 05x.

Thanks!

Very helpful, thanks all. And I had definitely missed the Bryston, so thanks for pointing that out Bob.

Has anyone found any truth to the reviews that state the Capri is somewhat rolled off in the treble? Is that what Curio means by "romantic"?

Anyone familiar with the Coda unit?

Thanks again.
