A used Ayre KX-R is well below $10K, and is one of the best preamps out there.
( I am referring to the Non-Twenty, but have seen used Twenty's for under $10K, too).

Looking for a preamp with XLR connections
Looking for a reference preamp with XLR inputs and outputs. Looking to spend less than 10k, no tubes. Any suggestion? Thought about the schitt Freya+, but audio science review just review it, and the measurements were aweful.
Thank you for your recommendations.
