How good is the linn av5103 as a 2 channel preamp?

I'm wondering if the Linn av5103 is really a great 2 channel preamp. Soundstaging, depth, dynamics,and transparency are important. Possibly replacing Audio Research ls16.I have a McCormack DNA1 RevA and a Cary 303/200CDP. Vandy 3Asigs are the speakers. Anyone with any experience with the Linn piece?

I love mine for HT and 2 Channel. I swqapped pre/pro's recently for 5.1 inputs and think I'll go back to the Linn, it just sounds so much better.

FWIW Linn used this as their reference piece until the Klimax Kontrol came out.
