+1 for the Odyssey Candela, more preamp for less money may not exist. Tube rolling will set it up for just the sound that works for you. You'll have to spend 5x the price to beat it. Pair it with an SS amp and you get tube smooth with great control and definition. I'm loving it with cryo'd Mullards and a Khartago Extreme.
what a deal!
