I think I want a tube preamp

Hi kids, I'm hoping for some advice. I have Linn Wakonda that I think has always been the weakest link in my system, plus I've been curious about a tube preamp for a while. Does anybody have any experience with the Quad QC-24 vs the Cary SLP-88? I am on a very limited budget, and would have to sell the Wakonda or trade it in. I need to keep it at $1200 max. I'm using a Linn Karik as a source, and a Cary SLA-70b Sig with KT90's driving ProAc response 2.5's. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have been doing some reading and the mini max does seem to be quite a bargain, would love to hear it. Two things to be aware of is that it inverts the phase and it has a high output impedance. These are not bad things, but just things you should be aware of when either attemping to match with an amp or are running in a system.
