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

@dlowman sorry about that, I own this one, (not my ad) and assumed the previous model had balanced as well.

Read this just for knowledge even if it is out of your price range. Hell of a pre amp- weighs 53 lbs.

I agree, It is also AES48 compliant.

@ditusa To the best of my knowledge, it isn't. There are only 3 ways to comply with AES48; output transformer, a solid state circuit specifically designed to allow a floating output and the system we patented. I don't see any of them used in this preamp.
