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.

Ditto on the Minimax. At the price point it is a very good value and what I love as well is the fact it doesn't take up much space.

Patekswiss, I generally find a little bit more body and dynamics preferable to stark transparency that can be just a bit too lean in many cases, just another point of view.
