What is the best tube preamp currently available?

Folks - It seems my Golden Tube Audio SEP-3 is finally dead and no support or schematics is available in the entire industry. I am forced to consider a new preamp. I am spoiled with its wonderful tube quality and thought you folks would be the perfect forum to start this research for the perfect replacement. I am primarily stereo based, but would consider an A/V tube preamp, if within my budget. I look forward to your recommendations.
Thanks in advance! - Bill

Sorry, I can't accept that your P/A can't be repaired. On this what have you to loose. My recommendation is to contact Eric Falkenhan (410) 467-3620 , one of the finest persons I know in audio restoration services. If Eric can't fix it nobody on the planet can. Give him a call & tell him Charlie Rehm referred you. All the best.

Billfields: You have received several recommendations on established audio repair services. The ball is in your court.

As for what is best... It doesn't exist only that equipment that works best with the equipment you own. It is a misnomer to believe replacment of one component vs another ,blindly, will benefit you in a positive direction. Perhaps a discussion of what you already own is as good a starting place as any. All the best.
