Upgrade preamp?


I recently upgraded the Schiit Vidars to Bryston 7B3's and looking to potentially upgrade my preamp from a Schiit Freya + to .......?  Speakers are Magnepan 1.7's.  

I listen to mostly Jazz and the goal would be increased clarity/resolution and sound stage.  

Any suggestions in the under $5k category?

good luck, and i am happy to help with ideas

i have a cj et5, it is a brilliant piece....  if you get one, let me know, i can walk you through some useful owner tips around tube longevity

herron's preamps are absolutely in the same class, as i understand it... i have never ever heard of a herron owner say anything but wonderful things about the sound and the man/company behind it - herron is a smaller shop, doesn't get the press and PR... but absolutely beyond reproach...
