Upgrading my PV-15

I am looking to upgrade my tube preamp. Recently sold my CJ PV-15. Looking to upgrade with a budget of about $2500.00. In speaking to a very knowledgeable dealer he suggested the CJ CT-5 citing some of the drawbacks of previous CJ models namely lack of deatil apparently being adresseed with some system enhancements which include better caps. I am in agreement with this point. As a interim solution I am using my Integra DTC-9.8, which previously was used with the PV-15 in HT bypass mode. With this prepro I am hearing more detail but it is also much more harsh and really not tolerable long term. So I guess i am at the classic crossrroads: tube vs ss. I have seen some great reviews on the CJ Premier series, but the pricing is all over the place. Any info or product recommendations are greatly appreciated except for McIntosh(but that's another story :) I do have a requirement for a HT bypass. My system is:

Rega P5 w/ Benz Micro cart
Consonance PM-6 phono stage
Consonance SACD player
Rogue MB-150
B&K 200.7
Integra DTC-9.8 Processor for HT
Von Schweikert VR-4 JR MKII bi amped with the Rogues to the M/T and the B&K to the woofer module.

Most of my listening is Jazz vinly.

Thanks,

Lou
