small footprint balanced pre-amp


My previous post probably was not as well thought out as it should have been, and I got no replies so I'm trying again...

I'm looking for a great-sounding pre-amp that is at most 11" deep, that is fully balanced (has at least one set of balanced inputs and has balanced outputs).

tube or SS....

Price range: up to $5K, new or used....

Any thoughts? the only ones I've found are the Rowland Capri and the Coda Technologies 05x.

Thanks!

Capri .. It's a lot o preamp for the money.

I agree with Clio09
I own the Pass X1 and one of my hi-fi friends the JRDG Capri
Both are splendid preamps for the price ... the Capri is a bit more "Romantic" expecially in mids while the Pass Labs X1 is a bit more open in the highs.
