Need help picking a preamp.


I'm a long time listener to music and am trying to slowly upgrade to a better quality sound. Looking for a preamp in the 500-$600.00 range but am willing to go to 700-$800.00 range if the extra money would equate to a difference my ears would hear. Do not know which is better (SS or Tube) in my price range and with my setup listed.I assume used in the way to go.(Jazz, Classic Rock, Rock)

I've had many. My ultimate is an MFA Magus. More reasonable is an Anthem TLP for solid state or AR 6C for tubed. They both beat my Classe 30 hands down. The Anthem has a built in tuner, the AR a phono pre. Probably $550 and $800 respectively.
