What Tube Preamplifier Under $1800 to Choose?

@larsman, Aric's gear and the whole client experience, is truly something unique! Enjoy yours!

Thanks for all the reply's!     In response to mrdecibel:

I have a 17' x 13' x8' room.  Fried C6 TL 2 way monitors with single sub. My listening position is centered laterally, 6 ft from the wall opposite the speakers, which are 4'-6' from the back wall, and 3'-6" from side walls.  I have corner tube traps on the back wall, wall absorber panels on back and side walls near speakers. Carpet floor.  I have used REW software to roughly model the speaker positions in my room.

Just bought the rogue rp-1 v1. All the reviews are positive. Has what i need/want in a preamp. 

I can't believe that deHavilland has been on there for 5 months and no buyer.

Yeah, these brands have to keep marketing to people to remain alive. Kara has retired. It's kind of sad to see newer gear elevated over better gear because (a) name recognition and marketing and (b) self-affirmation. This is why a review like the one I posted by Dick Olsher has weight. People who really know what DeHavilland is do not blink -- they get one. I think Rogue is also quite a valid and better choice. But Schiit? I mean, look at that tiny box? What kind of implementation could there be there, compared to a Rogue or Cary or DeHavilland? It's ridiculous to compare them.

Decooney for the price the freya is good. But the Galion p75 is just on onother level. It has holographic sound, huge soundstage, bass is next to none, smooth and fast, very dynamic macro and micro . Vocal is palpable.The freya don’t have it. I still have the freya . The p75 I heard it at friend house hook with TS 75.
