" The primary reason I am interested in the 509 is its legacy as a top quality studio amplifier and that too using vacuum tubes. I anyway do not want my amp to impose its signature as much as possible and it is always better to err on the tube side than SS side."

Then the 509 might be your best choice of the two. But I think that mating it with , say, an EAR 868 ( OK, my choice) may suit you better than with a SS pre-amp. Then again the selection of tubes is another variable.
