It will cost a little more than 1500, but I would go for a bat vk-5i. Reference grade sound. Beware the unity gain button (you can easily disconnect this on the remote).
There is one up for auction right now.

1,500 tube preamp which one?
I've budgeted $1500 for a tube preamp. I've a Threshold T-100 SS Amp, Spendor 1/2 speakers and a digital front end. I'm leaning towards a preamp with balanced outs. New or used it doesn't matter. I'd like some feed back.
