Preamp recommendations for my system please

@arcticdeth - phono stage has balanced output and the streamer/DAC, so I need two balanced inputs on a preamplifier. Ruled out Sugden Masterclass for that reason. 

@fuzztone - thanks for your responses. The existing Dartzeel equipment is not in my budget. I searched fo any announcement of a new preamplifier, but could not find any information. Would you elaborate please?

To everyone who has made suggestions or constructive comments, thank you.  I aapreciate your time and effort.

Some time ago, I bought a smoker before I knew what aspects were important to me, or how to use it. A few years later, I was a national champion.  Some of us learn by doing.  Oh, and now I use that knowledge to help others, many that don’t know why they want in a new pit.

I read way more than I post, because I want to learn. I find this forum can be very helpful. I’ve also logged a ton of miles and hours, listening and auditioning. I’ve read many of your helpful posts.  Today you decided to chastise me for being honest.  That’s okay, I’m a big boy.  Next time though, if you have nothing constructive to add, keep scrolling. There are many other positive, helpful people here on Audiogon.

Thanks to everyone that responded, provided feedback, or provided suggestions.  I have decided to stretch for the Audio Research Ref 6SE.  Now on to cables.
