Tubed Pre to mate with W4S monos 1K budget

I will look into VTL, that is one I did not realize was in my range. The Rogue is also on my short list, probably the 66 though as the 99 will not fit in my cabinet. I have also checked out the Consonance Cyber preamp, looks interesting but few reviews. Anyone have one of these that can comment?

That would be smart:) I would not say have ruled anything out yet, here is a rundown of what I have looked into: CJ, BAT, Rouge, Audio Research, Primaluna, Jolida, Cayin, AES, Cary, Anthem, Dared. I am sure I am forgetting a few but those seem to come up quite a bit in the 1k-1.5k range new or used. Is there something else in that range that I should keep an eye out for?

Thanks David, I may go that route if I see one come up. I am running Magnepan 1.6qr, not too efficient so the gain should be OK. I also stumbled across a Modwright 9.0SE that looks like it might fit the bill.

Thanks all for the suggestions! I have also stumbled across the VAC Auricle preamp, that seems to have all the features that I need. Very little info on the web and forums though, not sure if it was very propular in its day.
