Need help with a Tube PREAMP.


I currently use a Solid State 2 channel AMP with an Input of 20k(unbal) 40k(bal). I am looking for a great Tube PreAmp for around $2500 that would mate well with the AMP. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

What's your amp? There is more to a good mating than impedance. Also what are your speakers? Front End?

Do you need a remote?

Is used OK or do you prefer new?
On top of Jjrenman's questions, are you seeking a warm, musical classic tube sound, or more definition and articulation of some more modern designs?
