Reasonably priced preamplifier

At some point in the future, I would like to own a preamplifier from either CH Precision or Soulution but looking at their prices, I do not think that it is going to happen soon. So, until such time, I wanted to ask from experienced users here if there are preamplifiers within 7-8k (used) range that are different from the herd and can provide similar kind of performance that CH or Soulution provides?

Used Zesto Leto Ultra II.   Exceptional sounding preamp.

You are in the sweet spot for a used Allnic L 7000.

I’ve had a L 3000 then L 7000 and now L 8000.

The search ends with the L 8000.

 Check out the reviews , they are very accurate.

Audio Research SP-6, SP-8, SP-10; Counterpoint SA5000, SA3000; Audible Illusions  Modulus 3ii.  All $700-2000 range, all superb tube preamps.  All have excellent phono stages for MM cartridges.  Counterpoints can also be configured for MC cartridges but I have never used them that way.
