best pre/amp tube combo for under 3500?

I have energy veritas 2.3 speakers, well tempered classic with black platter and tone arm, cary 303/100 cd player and a plinius 8200m2 amp. I'm interested in upgrading to tube separates for a warmer sound. The pre I'm considering the most is an audible illusion 3a and the amp is a conrad johnson primier 11a. I might jump up to the primier 12. Also the Audio research 100 monos. All advice regarding individual components and how they work together is greatly apprciated.

I think you should consider a CJ tube pre-amp (17ls) to match up with the CJ amps you are considering. Better system matching is the goal although the audible solutions should not present a problem. If your budget is 3500 for both my suggestion would put you over the edge. Just a thought!!!!!!!!!!
