Dear Nick,
The pre-echo can not be eliminated. It is easy to listen when using headphones but by open speakers is indeed the sign of good resolution, despite system price.
If you like Bach solo piano pieces you may look into the used LP market, LP that have been mastered in DMM (direct metal mastering). Those have zero pre-echo. DMM are easy to ID as all of them have stickers. To my knowledge they were only done by Teldec.
Regards,
