Preamp suggestions for a McCormack DNA-125?

HI. Any preamp suggestions for a McCormack DNA-125? I just picked one up to try out. My speakers are Soliloquy 6.3's, and I listen mostly to jazz and classical, as well as some electronic music (mostly downtempo and ambient, some trance). I am looking for something with nice detail yet with some "meat on the bones".

Some preamps that I was considering were various models from ARC, the Joule LA-100, Wright preamp, C-J PFR or Premier 10. My budget is approximately $900. Tubes or SS would be okay. Thanks for the suggestions!

I suggest you try a Conrad-Johnson PV-10B with Phono stage. You can find them right here on Audiogon, and within the price range you are looking for. The 10B is a very nice sounding tube pre-amp that is built to very high standards of quality. I owned one prior to my purchase/upgrade to a C-J Primier 17LS.
