need suggestion about pre-amp, price around $5,000

I am looking for a pre-amp to match my headphone and future speakers system. I have P70 cdt, dac wadia 64.4. Now i really want to buy a pre-amp to match my sr717+007a. I have a pair of speakers which is krell lat2. I like big 3d stage, clear, thick and smooth, detailed sound. My main music style is jazz and classics. Any recommendation you can give me? used price i can afford is around $5,000

To be honest, I haven't heard any of these but based on reviews here and various audio publications these are on my short list. Just waiting for the economy to improve before I pull the trigger:

Audio Research Ref 3
Ayre K-1xe
Hovland HP-200
Conrad Johnson LS-16 (version 2)

I too have heard very good things about the Cary.
