Preamps better than Parasound JC-2 ?
@jnovak ,Thank You for the feedback. Recently another forum member has paired the XP-20 with a Proac and seems very content.@dbphd ,Yes, it has been 4 years and in between I stopped my search and upgraded my loudspeaker. It took 2 years to finaliz...

Preamps better than Parasound JC-2 ?
@bpoletti Thank You for the recommendation. Yes, I would like to have XLR. No two thoughts on that. If the preamp does not have it, it is a no starter for me. My amp sounds amazing with XLR instead of RCA, even though it is not a "true balanced" d... 
Preamps better than Parasound JC-2 ?
@bigddesign3, I am not sure about that. I think the Backert pre would be better than that. I have read enough threads and the Freya has mixed reviews with the users (not pro reviewers). 
Preamps better than Parasound JC-2 ?
So, I researched a few tube preamps and I would like to have one with XLR in/out. One such preamp is the Backert  Labs Rhumba 1.2. But I believe tubes have their own issues - like hum.http://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/review-backert-labs-rhumb...

Anyone heard the Merrill Audio Cara? Any feedback, compared to the Bryston/Parasound/Jeff Rowland? 
Preamps better than Parasound JC-2 ?
I think I have narrowed it down to the Jeff Rowland Capri S2 Vs the Bryston B-17 cubed. As anyone got a chance to compare these? The Capri S2 is 5 years old vs the Bryston is less than a year old.  
Promitheus TVC preamp
@brownsfan ,Yes, I remember discussing with you about the Coincident Line stage when you purchased them a couple of years back. I am sure it is a great preamp (based on reviews), but it is beyond my budget and also I am not looking to get tubes ... 
Promitheus TVC preamp
@brownsfan ,I think you own the Signature which is step up from the Reference that I own. I have been meaning to try an active in y system, now that the loudspeakers are upgraded. But I fear that I will loose the transparency of the TVC. Had a fri...
