Preamps

I'm not unhappy with the Jeff Rowland Corus preamp,  but I don't know what I don't know. I'm currently looking for a solid state preamp with HT bypass to compare to my Jeff Rowland Corus preamp. I would like suggestions below $15K new list price to listen to. I have a Jeff Rowland 625 S2 amplifier, Antipodes DS GT music server and Chord Dave DAC.

Hi 
i have owned many Jeff Rowland preamps
and power amps.
First they are designed to be played in balance mode.
i currently have a Jeff Rowland Concerto line stage mated with Ayre V5xe amp.with
great results.
Also cables,I used Cardas,and Mojo Audio 
top interconnects.

Like I've already said, I'm not unhappy with my Corus preamp, but I'm curious to hear other preamps. I run my JR 625 S2 with the Corus in balanced mode connect with Wireworld Platinum XLR series 8 cables.

For those that have the Freya:

Can you please comment on the transparency in the passive mode of the Freya ...

...versus without the Freya, with source(ie oppo 205) direct to amp.

Is it noticeable?

Thanks

How about the new Rogue Audio RP-9? Uses the Russian 6H30P tubes.

I have the RP-1 and really like it, wish I could afford the 9 :). Rogue is a great company to work with. http://www.rogueaudio.com/Products_RP9.htm
