"I doubt changing the preamp will give you a wider soundstage"
Wrong!
The NAD's always sound too dark and confined to me. The GFA555 is capable of a very nice wide sound stage indeed. If I were the OP I would find a GFP565 this is a great sounding pre amp and they cost around $300 used. Sold new for $800 and it has a great phono section too.
