Upgrade from Threshold T3?


When I moved up to the Threshold T3 preamp I was gratified by its clarity, openness and imaging compared with the solid state unit I was using before. It was an improvement in every aspect, yet it didn't introduce any of the solid state nasties. It could be that I wont be able to improve much on it if I were to upgrade, but if there's something out there that's clearly better at no more than $3000 new or used I would want to look into it. I lean toward solid state but would consider anything, really. Thanks for your input.

I had a T-3 and very satisfied with it, only in some vocal peaks it would notice a little rogh around the edges, otherwise,a smooth performer all around.
I found a company called Audible Illusions THeir preamps are tubed and unreal.
I jumped from the Threshold T-3 into a Classé and now I'm having a lot of fun with an AI L-2,
Retails for about $2,500 you can't go wrong.
I was surprised to hear the bass and the delicacy of the top end and the pressence on the mids, it's an unreal pre.

Take care
