Best Option In A Tube Preamp $1,800 Or Less - Used

As the title says, I am looking for my best option in a tube preamp with an $1,800.00 price limit. I would be buying used to maximize purchasing power and value.

This will be paired with a First Watt F6 power amplifier. This is a wonderful amp, and with the right dose of tube magic from a pre, should make a great combination. I would appreciate your thoughts on my best potential choices which will add the golden glow of tubes to this scenario. Thanks for any assistance.

Nightfall,
If you can stretch your budget, or perhaps negotiate with the seller a bit, this:

Fi preamp is a great sounding unit and closet to your budget, it's pretty no frills but great sounding and made by Don Garber a real legend when it comes to making tube gear. Zero affiliation with the seller. Good luck and happy listening!
