The Anthem (Sonic Frontiers) Pre-Pro deserves prominent mention...I had forgetten about it....feature and parts comparisons place it at or near the top of the mid-price list. (I have not yet tried it, though).
buy a used dc-1 it should be under 1,500 used and you won't be disappointed.
Rotel, B&K, and Adcom offer good pre/pro's in this general price range. The newest Adcom model, the GTP-760, has full Dolby and DTS 5.1 surround, DSP effects, a good tuner, and also has inputs for DVD-A 5.1 analog. I have listened fairly extensively to this Adcom unit, and was quite impressed. It's transparent, detailed, and very dynamic on both music and movie sound effects. I have seen the "760" for sale for as little as $1325 (MSRP is around $2000), so it's a bargain as well.
