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.

Just use the passive mode of your GFP-750 if you really want neutral. Otherwise, next best bet is Pass X-1. Not much out there any better. about $2400 used-mint.

I had a Threshold T400 and I preffered the sound of the Classe CP-60 with it over the Threshold T2. It was a magical combination. Time doesn't stand still, and now they are both gone, but not forgotten.

I'm in the same boat. Two things; I am now driving my Bryston amp directly with my cd player. It has a digital remote volume control. SO far it's great. My Bryston BP 25 is sitting to the side for now. The other item I was going to try is the tube pre amp the AE-5 by the Audio Parts people of Cary. I have not tried it, but that's what I would also try.
I have heard and read very good things about the Adcom, so I guess you're like the rest of us, you are ready for a change,,
Good luck..
