Can I get suggestions for a tube preamp please?

Hi Folks,
I have a PS Audio Classic 250 SS amp & I am considering the purchase of a tube pre-amp & would appreciate suggestions. I prefer listening to Rock & Roll music but I'm not picky unless it's country music.

A Home Theatre Bypass would be necessary & balanced outputs because I integrate my two channel setup with my Home Theatre. I don't have a turntable, so I only need this for my CD player, currently a Sony s9000es. Can I find something very good to fit with my system in the $1,500 range?
Regards

I really enjoy my Rogue 99 Magnum. Coming up on one year and my appreciation grows. It ia very flexible with many other amps. I think Rogue can configue it with the HT bypass but do not think the balanced outputs are an option.

Good Luck.

A Sonic Frontiers Line 1 would fit the bill. Linestage only, HT bypass, single ended and balanced inputs and outputs, fantastic remote. You should be able to find one used within your budget.

The Sonic Frontiers Line 1 has all the features you want and is available for <$1500., but only used as they are now out of production. Service through SF is not a problem though if needed. I use the Line 1 for both 2 channel music and in my "sort of" HT system, and I can highly recommend it. The Line 1 is neutral/accurate rather than euphonic. Good Luck. Craig

Everyone knows that I am partial to the Sonic Frontiers...
It is a great piece! The SF 1 is worth the money! It would definately be a worthy piece for your system!!
Good luck,
