Tube preamp w/tone controls around $500?


Does anyone know of any tube preamps w/tone controls for around $500? I need the tone controls to help out bad recordings. If there aren't many options, is there something I could put between the pre and power amps to adjust tone?
Thanks!

I used a Musical Fidelity X-Tone to adjust tone
when necessary. I leave it out of my setup most of the
time, but it's great for some of my LPs and even
some overly bright CDs from the 80s. It also improves
the sound of LPs recorded with non-RIAA equalizations.

I think there's one for sale on ebay.
