Looking to buy new to me pre amp 2.5 k max

In market for a new to me preamp . My sights are on the following new Parasound  p6 

Preowned Bryston BP20 

Preowned PrimaLuna evo 100

Preowned Parasound JC Halo 

My Marantz av7005 died not going down that Rabbit hole again. I am currently running Paradigm Studio 60v5 , Bryston 4bsst2 , Pioneer 30xdp hugh resolution player and Pioneer PLX1000. 

Thanks

Ok, if we are recommending better options, then definitely Audio Research, Conrad Johnson, or VAC.

Yes, go tube.   I would look at the Atma Sphere UV 1 at your budget.     No frills, probably one of the best at it's price.

What sound characteristics are most important to you and what improvements are you looking for?  That’ll go a long way to getting truly meaningful recommendations here.

Another to consider is the Schiit Freya+ they have a black Friday sale right now as well. best of both worlds SS / tube selectable.
