Need preamp recommendation

Hi everyone :)

I am in the market for a 2-ch preamp to go with my power amp, and am looking for some recomendations. Will prob go used, as I think I can get more value for my money. I would like to limit the sale price @ $4k.

Do I want this?:

Maybe something else?

Thanks in advance.

Perhaps a better way to go would be to tell us what you have had for a pre and what you like/dislike or are searching for??

what is the one detail that you eoyld like to hear from a new pre?  Soundstage, liveliness, more cow bell, mid bass?  We might be able to help with the right I do.  I have owned a dozen tubed and SS pres in the last 10 years and need your help to make a recommendation.
