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

When I had recently received the Freya and festooned it with NOS GEs (a while back...maybe 132 years?) some friends and I had a little shoot out festival with a couple of ARC tubed preamps (one was a "reference" model), a Cary SLP 98, and a VTL something...my Freya stood its ground against all challengers and amazed the gang of audio geeks as a FAR less expensive alternative to the other precious items...possibly why its in Class A now. 

I'm running a Schiit Freya with NOS GE 6SN7GTB tubes into a Pass XA25 with astonishing results...the Freya is too inexpensive for many here, and that's fine...a Stereophile Class A Rated brilliantly designed terrific sounding preamp that out performs and has more features than nearly anything out there...too bad it doesn't cost 5 grand...
