Tube preamp for $2,000


I would be grateful for recommendations for a tube preamp linestage for about $2,000. It would be mated with a Prima Luna Prologue 5 amp. I often have to listen on low volume. Thus, precise volume control (and remote control) are important. Thanks so much for any advice.

If you can find the Mystere CA11, that would be my recommendation. Great value for the price. Last time I checked, they were back ordered six months. Series regulated push pull architecture coupled with 6SN7 tubes and 5AR4 rectifier tube. Piano gloss black, small form factor, and very minimalist. No remote and stepped volume attenuator which may be unappealing to you. Dead quiet and spot on performance for $1795. Built like a tank - this unit is heavy. Check it out. Haven't found one yet that's listed for sale used.
