Looking for a tube preamp that has xlr outputs.

As the topic says looking for a new or used tube preamp that has xlr outputs to go to my vtv amplifier.  Will be looking for dac next for streaming music.  But back the preamp.  Price is under 2500.  Used is ok since you can often get more bang for the buck.  

What suggestions do people have?  I like to listen to everything from blues to assic

The tubes in it are good, esp the Telefunken 12AX7’s. Those were my favorite 12AX7’s in that preamp. All the tubes were tested and strong. I sent it to The Music Room with them in it.

Thanks @fthompson251 

@mclinnguy I didn't see xlr on that one. And 3 is stretching it.

If you’re worried about truly balanced that’s one thing. If you just want to hook it up get a single ended to xlr plug. I have some nice Cardas ones if interested.
