High end tube Preamp under $4k used that competes


with or betters the Cary SLP 05. (is there such a preamp?) Looking for suggestions in a tubed preamp on the used market to go with a solid state amplifier (60k ohm input impedance).

This preamp should have:
1. the bass, heft, weight, solidity of the SLP 05

2. clarity and highs that are crisp and extended/ not rolled off

3. some tube sound/ as opposed to solid state

4. some warmth yet detailed

5. dynamics

Thanks

get yourself a Atmasphere mp3 or mp1 mk3.3.  Either one you can’t go wrong.   Both preamp is incredible; overall best deal you can get.  That is coming from a person that owns Cat, Jadis, Audionote and Aesthetix.  You will not be disappointed!
