Thank you all for your input and suggestions. I've taken it all in and in speaking with Dale, I think I'm going to go for the Parasound A21+ power amp.
I will also probably go for the Parasound pre. It has tone controls and balanced inputs which I can use coming out of my Mytek Liberty DAC.
I'm also in agreement with @stereo5 and @jjss49 about tone controls. I'm 50 years old and have been a drummer all my life. I know I have some degree of hearing loss in the upper frequency range. Using the tone control, like a little salt and pepper, I think would be a good thing.
I am still open to suggestions on a good pre amp. Tube or SS. Let me know.
Thanks again everyone!
Joe
