SS Preamp Suggestions Please

Hello,
I have the following system:
Sonic Frontiers Power 2 tube amp,
QUAD 22L2 cone based speakers,
Jolida JD-100 Underwood Lvl 1 tube cd player,
Arcam DV-137 used for SACD, HDCD, DVD-A playback,
modded Cambridge 640P phono pre & Thorens TD-290,
Sansui TU-517 tuner.

I currently have a tube pre and am pleased with the sound. However, I'd like to try a used SS pre for < $1000 that is very detailed but yet still musical.
Remote and phono section are not required but would prefer 2 pairs of RCA outs although I do have splitters if required. Tape loop would be nice but not required.

Preamps I'm considering so far:
AR LS9,
Musical Fidelity A3RC or A308CR,
Adcom GFP-750
Van Alstine ???

Can you share your opinions, feedback, on the above or any others?
Thanks and have a wonderful New Year
Paul

I think you should take a look Klyne;Stan Klyne makes some of the best solid state pre amps in high end audio;either a series 6 or 7 is what I would be looking for;if you don't need balanced inputs and outputs then the series 6 would do the job.
Check his website if you need more info or even call Stan as he is a great guy to talk audio with.
