Which 5.1 ch Pre?


Hi: I do not need processing, just preamplification (gain + vol. control) for a 5.1 ch set up, less than $2,000 demo or gently used. Here is a short list:
- Copland CVA 306 for its tubes
- McCormack MAP1 as it matches with my CDP UDP1
- Audio refinement Pre-5 for its very low cost
What would you recommend? Did I forget an obvious option?

Thanks

Bel Canto Pre 6 Gen 2, better than any of the options you mentioned IMHO unless you really want the tubes in the Copland.
Anybody see the NuForce 5.1 pre at CES/THEShow this year, the door was locked when I got to it, was a different room than 2 channel stuff? Thanks, Mike.
