best bang for the buck tube preamp?

Here's one that will be great to play with starting out 2006 Dared SL-2000a. Look around on Agon, a used one runs about $350. Make sure it's a 2006 model..so you get two outputs.

The EE Minimax is a great one, especially if you can find it at $500. I had forgot about that one.

Thanks Rene..I hadn't thought about this either. A fellow(oliverlim) mentioned on a thread I started on audiocircle about the Promitheus that he replaced his Rotel 1068 with the Promitheus for music. I found his comments here Promitheus. It ain't tubes but it sure sounds fantastic!

Good listening
