Thinking about buying a different tube preamp...

I've been making many changes to my system lately and was thinking of changing out the Jolida Music Envoy for something better. Was hoping for some ideas here.
My system is as follows:
Classe CAM200 monoblocks
Linn LP12
Jolida JD100
Revel Ultima Studios
Velodyne FSR12 sub
Running Synergistic Research Tesla Precision interconnects from the preamp to a PVC, then Synergistic Research Tesla Accelerator interconnects from the PVC to the monoblocks. Have the sub hooked up to the second output of the preamp.
Was thinking of spending around $3500 on something used. Most everything I have is used and I've been very pleased so far.
Thanks in advance for your input.

why a pre-amp and a PVC?

Abucktwoeighty- The Modwright is a very good unit. More toward the neutral side of the tubey vs. solid state spectrum. I still don't think that there is really any advantage to running a pre-amp into a PVC as a long term solution. Better to match the gain of your phono stage properly to the line stage than to have two attenuators in the signal chain.

But that's small change if the music is getting you through a such a tough time. I am very sorry for your loss and hope that you eventually can come to peace with the fact that your loss is great because of how much your spouse brought into your life. Peace, brother (or sister).

Glad to hear today has been a good one. I hope the smiles come more frequently than the tears as time goes on, but I imagine that's a very unpredictable and bumpy ride.
