Recommendation for Tube Preamp around $1000


I am rebuilding a 2 channel system for music and I am in need of a 'Budget " tube preamp with HT bypass but can live without .The rest of my system is: Onkyo NR3007 for HT duties ; Ext Power Amp Khartago SE ++ ; Speakers Salk Song Towers ; Subwoofer SVS NSD 12 ; Bass EQ via BFD using REW ;Ext Xover Energy EAC for Subwoofer integration in 2 channel mode.

My previous experience with 2 channel music was several years ago when I owned Classe Pre and Power amps along with Linn Sondek Turntable, etc etc .Speakers were Mirage M1's . At that time I had separate rooms for HT and 2 channel music listening. After I downsized , I have to integrate both HT and Music in one location in the family room

I have narrowed down the preamps to the following:

Jolida Fusion 3000
Maple Tree 2SE
YS Audio,
Minimax

I dont mind used equipment .

AR, CR, etc

Please help me out with recommendations:

Thanks very much
