Solid State preamp Brands


Hi, I was discussing options for a SS Pre. I have on a list CODA, AYRE, Bryston, Classe, Bal Canto, Holo etc.  I am strongly considering the Classe Delta Pre. Some of my audio buddies are saying that the Classe is not very good even to the point of saying it is low fi. REALLY?? I want to have 2 preamps in my system to alternate. The other is a CJ ET5 tube. any advice is appreciated.

I've been very impressed with the Naim preamp I picked up. Much better than the tube pre I was using before and dead quiet. 

IMO I wouldn’t use a digital preamp unless you want to also use the included dac or you want to use room correction if it has that.
