Suggestions for a tube preamp

I am looking for a tube preamp that will work well with my system:

Clayton S 40 ampliflier
Rick Reimer Wind River GS speakers (on order)
Heavily modified Pioneer DVD player

I do not need phono and do not want to spend more than $1000.00 used.

Here are some preamps I have looked at:

AR LS 7, LS2, LS1
Blue Circle BC 21
Sonic Frontiers Line 1
MFA MAGUS
Audible Illusions L1 or Mod 3
CJ PV 10
Counterpoint 2000, 3000

Any and all suggestions will be appreciated!

I thank everyone for the responses so far.

TWL, MFA is out of business. Is there anyone that can service this unit if there is a problem? I have also heard that this unit is better when modified.

There is a MFA Magus B for sale on AGON right now. Any info on this unit would be helpful.

Are there any remote controlled preamps worth looking at? I do not want to compromise the sound though.

Hi Guys and Gals,

I have narrowed the search down to Sonic Frontiers, EAR and Audible Illusions in the used 700.00 price range. Any other thoughts or ideas?
