Need Preamp Recommendation

I'm going back to separates after years of owning just integrated amps (some tube, mostly solid state). The amp will be solid state, pure class A. I'm keeping the cost down for now. Up to, say $2K, are there significant sonic differences between tube and SS preamps and what is your preference sonically to mate with (class A) SS?

Well, I use a Aric Audio tube preamp with a Pass XA25 with great results. He makes one that retails at your price point. 

As with the Quicksilver mentioned by yogi, his preamps have low output impedance for a tube pre.
