affordable tube preamp-AE-3 vs. Pre1L?


Hello, I am thinking of adding a tube preamp to my system. Have about 500$ to use. A used Anthem pre1L, new AES-3 ,come to mind. Anyone compared these two, or offer other suggestions. Looking for some tube mid magic, without a loss of speed and clarity. THANKS, Clearsound

I purchased the Anthem 1L, it was the well worth the 900.00 I paid for it. I see them listed for 600-700 dollars online. I have now,and have had previously, better pre-amps, but for under a grad brand new it is an excellent buy. (IMHO)
