NAD C165 vs Parasound 2100 vs Emotiva USP-1


I was looking at a pre-amp and wondering if I could get some opinions on the following.

- Emotiva USP-1
- Parasound 2100 new Classic
- Pasasound Halo P3
- NAD C165 BEE

if they tripled the price they wouldn't be able to keep them is stock. performance has nothing to do with it.
I have no problem with value priced hardware. My concern is more that I have seem feedback from several sources that the emotiva USP-1 is bright. I only care about the sound quality and build quality.

Any comments on those factors?
james lipski, you reinforce every stereotype (pun secondarily intended) of a blowhard fauxdiophile. You must be so proud.
