What's the best sounding SS or Tube linestage pre?

Hi All,
I've got to finally break down and buy a pre-amp. Any suggestions on which sounds best? I listened to the Adcom GFP-750 and it sounded pretty nice. Please use that as a reference point and go from there. (Just as good for less money....better for a little more?)

I'd like to know about both SS AND Tube pre's. I'm definitly interested in good VALUE too (not necessarily low price, but want good bang for the buck). I don't need bells and whistles (not even a remote) and only need it for one source (SACD-CD).

Thanks for your comments and Happy Listening!

Bang for the buck -- Krell KBL --
I used it in my system for almost 10 years. I replaced it with the Krell KRC-HR primarily for the remote capability. The KRC-HR is better, but as far as the bang for the buck, buy the KBL. (by the way, my system cost over $50K)
