I have upgraded from the canary M600 to their grand reference amps but have not changed the pre of Canary C1800 I feel there is room for improvement
can anyone suggest a good pre which can be more 3 D and airy than the C1800

AUDIO RESEARCH 6 SE. Although I haven’t compared it with the C1800 that you have, I am very familiar with Canary’s M800 MK II, in the same system (mine), and the ARC is substantially better in all parameters. Might be worth looking into.
Cheers......

I can also confirm that the ARC preamps work quite nicely with the Canary gear. I've heard the Ref3 and Ref6 with various Canary amps.
