Tube Pre amp with tone control suggestions


Hello all. 
I am considering going to a preamp with tone controls. I know its not the purist point of view but wth it's all about what I like to hear. I have an Audio Note M6 with Phono right now, considered pretty good but I miss tweaking that bass or treble on certain recordings. My solid state gear gives me that ability and I like it.
My thoughts are a few Mac's like the C20 or C22 or the MX110.

How about up to $5k on the used market and it doesn't have to have Phono.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

The Schiit Loki is an excellent EQ, but can only be used in a single-ended setup. It is the most transparent analogue EQ I've ever heard. 


@pkvintage, if you're running RCAs from the M6 to the monoblocks, then your system is single-ended. You can plug into the Schiit Loki and keep that wonderful AN system.

Or, if you can find one:
