Looking for warm tube preamp (should pair well with Pass power amp), budget $6000


Right now I have an ARC ref5se and its nice but looking for something of similar quality but warmer (maybe Vac, CJ or something you think will fit well). Looking for smooth sound, full mid range.

Thanks!

I use a McIntosh C2300 tube preamplifier bought new in 2008. I replaced the Chinese made "McIntosh" tubes inside it with NOS Telefunken tubes. I use it with a McIntosh MC2205 power amplifier. Very, very pleasant sound.
