Advice on pre-amps needed

Topox.. no, I´haven´t so far as this will be beyond my financial boundaries (I suppose).

Has anybody experienced the new Jeff Rowland Concerto pre with phono option?

@Kurt_tank
If you are experiencing tube rush, use a tube with a lower output instead. A tube that is matched for your preamp or amp should not have that symptom. 
 Some tubes are quieter than others with a given output.

I'm currently using a Schiit Freya that is possibly too inexpensive for this thread, and a Dennis Had "Firebottle" HO SEP amp (also relatively inexpensive)...I HATE noise and hum from hifi gear, and use noise defeating outboard power supplies for my DAC and phono preamp, a PS Audio Humbuster III, well shielded cables...etc. There is zero "tube rush" or noise in this rig, and you can stick your ear on the treble horn of the Klipsch Heresy IIIs for verification of that as long as you wipe the earprint off afterwards. There was zero noise from my previous push/pull tube power amp also...so clearly I don't get the alleged sonic "cost" of tubes, although there is a cost to collecting them...utterly worth it as they can make things sound better than otherwise.

ayre gear need be broken in and warm !!!! i suggest leaving preamp on 24/7 and of course breaking it in....Charlie was pretty adampt about the need for a preamp for his gear to sound best..and IMo agree..there will of course be dissenters, who are sometimes right..it seems a case by case thing...
i have some aesthetix gear, Jim White certainly knows his stuff, has good ears ... have fun
