best pre/amp tube combo for under 3500?


I have energy veritas 2.3 speakers, well tempered classic with black platter and tone arm, cary 303/100 cd player and a plinius 8200m2 amp. I'm interested in upgrading to tube separates for a warmer sound. The pre I'm considering the most is an audible illusion 3a and the amp is a conrad johnson primier 11a. I might jump up to the primier 12. Also the Audio research 100 monos. All advice regarding individual components and how they work together is greatly apprciated.

I've heard nothing but good things about these giant killers. They've got a huge selection of Pre-amps, Amps, Hybrids, DACs, etc( all tubed ). They literaly have about 50 pre amps starting at about $350 up to about $3k.

Even if you opt to buy from somewhere else, you should still give this site a visit.

The owner of the company is Albert. I've spoken to him on the phone and he's very helpful.

From what I've read,,,,,,,,his entry level pre-amp beats out some of the Audio Research models HANDS DOWN!!!

Check out the site, and read the testimonials.
