Preamp for Vandersteen 2ce sig w/ Mccormack DNA0.5

Looking at solid state preamps that mate well with Vandersteen 2ce sigs with a Mccormack DNA 0.5 amp.Looking for good Bass response and also a little tip up to the highs.

Any particular reason why you are looking at Solid State? The McCormack mates really well with tubed preamps.

Search - there's lots of responses to this one already.

I would consider a tube pre. a rogue 66, audio research ls2, sonic frontiers, are just a few of the ones that come to mind under $1000.

I had this same combination for years with a tubed Conrad Johnson pre-amp. It sounded great.

Try a PSE HL-1 for a budget Pre. It's excellent and has some very usefull features. Also, it's a hybrid with a few tubes so you get the benefit of tube swapping if you want to.
