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.

Let me toss out the Magnus Audio MP-1000 preamp. Magnus Audio is the solid state division of Canary Audio - highly respected for their tube gear. I own a Magnus Class A SS amp.

I am looking for clarity, dynamics and a good sense of space from the new preamp.

Grounding individual components has improved my SQ in regard to clarity and transparency. A grand piano sounds like a grand piano.
