What's the best sounding SS or Tube linestage pre?


Hi All,
I've got to finally break down and buy a pre-amp. Any suggestions on which sounds best? I listened to the Adcom GFP-750 and it sounded pretty nice. Please use that as a reference point and go from there. (Just as good for less money....better for a little more?)

I'd like to know about both SS AND Tube pre's. I'm definitly interested in good VALUE too (not necessarily low price, but want good bang for the buck). I don't need bells and whistles (not even a remote) and only need it for one source (SACD-CD).

Thanks for your comments and Happy Listening!

I've got a top-of-the-line hybrid tube/ss Van Alstine preamp for sale at $525. Can't get much better than that short of spending several thousands, even at its full msrp.
