Recommend relatively obscure high end tube preamps

Just wondering whether people can offer advice on high end preamps worth auditioning. I am looking for those who have experience with more esoteric and expensive equipment (MSRP >5000). I've owned Wavac (never should have sold it) and now own the Aesthetix Callisto Signature. I've owned BAT, CJ, ARC so I'm not looking for answers on things you can readily find.

One that comes to mind is the Brinkmann Marconi. Any opinions?

What else is out there?

What about Don Garber's new full function Fi preamp? Judging from his Fi Y pre and his
amps, this one will be one of the nicest preamps around.

And talking about esoteric looks...!

It was the singularly most musical (romantic) preamp I have owned

Looks like you should really give a Fi amp or preamp a try!

Of course, also trust Gmood1 to come up with the most obscure and wonderful sounding gear out there.
