Pre with Parasound

After getting such an overwhelming response from the Parasound vs Emotiva post I thought I would inquire to the other Parasound peoples around here as to a suitable pre for my new hca-1200ii. Right now I am running a Rotel RSX-1055 running as a pre with preouts. I am looking for a good 2 channel pre to match up to the Parasound with HT bypass. They will be connected to my SDA 1C's. After some surfing I have been looking at the VTL 2.5 or something in the Parasound family. Any suggestions?

    The P5 is pretty sweet for the money.

    Well, can't speak to the having HT bypass option, but Parasound with a tubed pre works for me.
