which balanced preamp to recomend?


Which balanced preamp(active or passive, valve or solid state) can you recommend to replace First Sound Presence Deluxe mkII?---up to $3000 new or used please. Am looking to retain as much of the detail, dynamics, neutrality and liquidity of the FSP pre(which is active, valve and linestage only). Reason being to run a full balanced system from cdp to amps.

Thanks for any ideas you may have.

Rowland Synergy IIi (Fully balanced and liquid smooth) or the newer Rowland Preamp (older one has the external power supply)

*** I have one for sale as I'm upgrading to a DAC with Volumn control ****
