Used Tube Preamp Suggestions

Looking for suggestions on a used ( because the budget is under 1K, and preferably in the 600-800 range ) tube preamp to match with my new tube amp. I don't use a phono stage, just a line, so a strong phono stage would only be good for possible re-sale. I'm a little concerned about buying something "vintage" and not getting the time in down the road. I'm leaning towards an Audio Research SP9 mkII or a Rogue Perseus which I read a review it was noisy. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Rich

I second Bnrlaw........run Lola......run.

Have not seen one in a long time....not for that price.

If I did not have my present pre....well, you get the picture.

*do not know the seller and did not see the listing but if it is true - just get it , trust me.

Best
