Budget Pre with 2outputs, rectifier tube and.....

Hello guys, I'm looking for a used budget tube pre with a rectifier tube, ht bypass and as stated 2 outputs. I've looked at Dennis Had's AES DJH but doesn't have the ht bypass, budget is about $800, maybe I'm asking for too much at that price. But that's why I come here for solutions. thanks in advance.

Ejman ;
I think when he says that 'tube rectification rules' , he means that it is the best...the ruler of the kingdom . Not that there are any rules of the game .

I had a DJH for a few years. It doesn't have HT bypass, but it was one of the best sounding preamps I've ever heard.

Check out YS Audio from Hong Kong. ALso called Audio Expressions I believe. THey are on Audiogon. I believe a couple of their tube pres are tube rectified. I have an old one the MKII I think which is tube rectified and was a great entry into tubes. I think I got it for $400 5-6 years ago. I dont use it now due to little fingers and heat (live in HI) but it was a great little preamp that punched above its weight.
