Another "what would you buy"preamp question..Sorry

I'm looking to update my present preamp,Bryston BP 25,with tube preamp.
I've heard great things about tube preamp and have had the chance to audition a Blue Circle BC3.1 .Gatalea.I have one word to decribe it..WOW..and right now is the one at the top of the list.
Any suggestions for a preamp that can better the BC3.1 please I,m all ears.

Nope, no shares in Blue Circle. I like it cuz it sounds good. As for the hum - there could be a grounding issue in your electrical wiring. Do you have the amp and preamp plugged into the same outlet? I had a hum problem and solved it by purchasing a power conditioner....

I phoned Blue Circle about the hum.
Once they knew that I using a Bryston 4B ST power amp ,they suggested to change position of the ground lift toggle switch at the back of the 4B ST.
Since I was only auditioning the BC3.1 and have sent it back,I will have to wait before I try that suggestion.
