Ankkor-

You have a great combination with the 2600/1.2's.

Personally I prefer a tube Mc pre-amp to solid state. The only thing you might consider is an 1100 pre-amp. This would require also buying a DAC (if you use one) as well.

Before making such a move, an audition of the 2600 and 1100 as well as a solid state unit is a must. In the end it's all very subjective. Again, you have an outstanding pre-amp so approach the chase of upgrade with caution.
