Best Preamp for under $1750.00

Seeking recommendations for a preamp in the $750 to $1750 range. Balance of system consists of Aerial 8's, Bryston 7B's, and CAL CL-15. Room acoustics and speakers would favour lean over lush; I'm looking for something musical without being on the "warm" side. Music preferences include acoustic, jazz, and rock. Will re-cable according to final selections

After you are finished auditioning preamps, try the CAT Signature MKllor MKlll. I think you will quickly make your decision. However, I would hear all the others first

Audio Analogue 's Bellini Remote. 1/5 of CAT's price & almost as good.
Good Luck. Bob.

Sounds like SS. Perhaps a BP-20 or 25 to match your 7B, or Musical Fidelity A3CR. Or a Counterpoint with the updates/mods?
