Preamp help needed - max $ 2500

The sound im looking for " Vocals and instruments have a truer, more natural tonal balance, realistic timbre; the sound projecting into the listening room with increased spatial qualities."

The Joule Electra LA-100 mk3 and the Dehavilland Ultraverve. Both the preamps are fantastic with good details and excellent dynamics. Both of them fits your budget.

Its tubes and its great, besides the fact that they don't break. VAC lets the music through as well as some and better than most, IMHO. Great detail, musicality and naturalness of the sound. Kevin is also great to deal with for tips and pointers.
