Plataman,
There are many fine preamp recommendations offered above and I am sure you will be able to find one that matches your equipment and musical taste. We each have our own preferences and would suggest that there is no "hands down" solution. I read where earlier in the year that you were considering a used tube preamp in the $2500-4000 range. If your budget has changed, then I would second Bar81's recommendation to consider the BAT REX. It has elevated the level of my system considerably. The Tron would also be worthy of your consideration. Good luck with your search.
