Which preamp to buy in the 2000.00 range used

My system:
cables:
Kimber bifocal xl
Kimber KCAG XLR's
CD:
Arcam 23T
Amp:
Threshold S/5000E
Preamp:
Adcom 750
Speakers:
Triangle Luna's

I'm looking for a new preamp for this system. I trend to like a pre that does not get in the way of the music. No midrange magic, just pure music with nothing taken alway or added. I would concider tubes, but I want to stick with SS. How do the Threshold pre's sound? If anyone might have a glue.

Why not try a great Passive pre, Bent Audio's "NOH" comes to mind. Placette Audio passive is it's equal in the $1,200 price range. I've listened to both and while I bought the Bent, it wasn't better than the Placette...just different.

The AR LS-5 is a great suggestion also if you can use a balanced design.
