Preamp recommendation

In the market for a new pre-amp and looking for suggestions. I know this is very subjective to one’s tonal qualities so let’s consider all options in the $2k range.

My current system is analog and I have no interest in digital. Currently running VPI Scout, Elac Alchemy PPA-2, Parasound A21 and Q Acoustics 3050i.

I’m leaning towards a used Parasound JC-2 or Wyred4 Sound STP SE, both in the price range. I had a previous post considering the Jolida or Vincent but have decided not to go hybrid based on inconsistent reviews.

Thoughts?

I love the Wyred STP-SE pre.
Dead quiet, flexible, balanced, remote and punches above its price.
A gently used unit is quite a good bargain.

edit: wow, I just looked and E.J. is selling the STP SE at a well reduced price.  That is a deal for new considering I paid just less for slightly used.  https://wyred4sound.com/products/pre-amps/stp-se
