sunfire classic vacuum tube preamp

  I have been looking for a tube preamp for some time now.  I would like a pre that has balanced outputs and I am looking for a warmer sound.  I noticed that there are a couple sunfire classic preamps for sale on audiogon and it looks like this could be a good choice for me.  Can anyone with experience in this preamp let me know what the sound is like and if this is a good preamp,  thanks

it's rare full function preamp of a good quality. i remember several years ago you could purchase it half-way down used. now new ones twice as much worth they were new.
i guess it tells something about quality and performance.

9 years ago I could get one with phono and remote $800 barely used.

Stringreen,
The shop you're referring to carveraudiorepair.com isn't owned by Carver and has nothing to do with any of the affiliation. They sound more like scammers.
