+1 for the Van Alstine , only 1 tube but still is "tubey" .
His service is the best I have ever had in 50 years .

Tube Preamp Recommendations
I’m looking to get a tube preamp in the near future. Budget is $1k, but might go up to $1.5k. The Freya+ is one that I’m considering. What else is out there in my price range? The preamp will be fed by a SMSL SU-9 DAC. My amp is an upgraded Quad 405, which I recently acquired, and the speakers are AR Classic Series 18.
