Tube Pre, HT Pass and Balanced Output

Is anybody aware of such a piece of equipment under $3000? New or used is fine and something on the more "tubey" side in terms of warmth would be great (the CJ PV-14L2 comes to mind but its single ended out). I've tried searching the threads, but don't come up with much. Looking to improve the 2 channel portion of this HT/2 channel system. I would like to avoid debating the merits of balanced v. single ended as I already have many single ended options. Is this price even realistic?

Thanks.

any thoughts on how the Mac c2200 might fit into the discussion? How does it compare to any of the others above. For reference, amps are JC-1's and speakers are B&W 803d's

Thanks.

Thanks to all for the suggestions. Keep them coming. The Calypso sounds like tube rolling is the way to go (or at least it used to be). Is this still the case? As anybody compared the Calypso to the CJ PV14-LS2 (I know the CJ is single-ended, but I'm curious about a comparison)? Amps are JC-1's.

Thanks.
