Looking for the good sounding Pre Amplifier


HI to everyone,
Asking for the advice. This is the third time that I am asking for the advice under different title.
As soon as people read "need quality pre amp for the NAD C275" they just simple ignore title
since the NAD is not "audiophile" amplifier. To me the NAD C275 sound great (maybe it's just me)
but I like the sound. Great dynamics, details, excellent details (CD connected directly to the Amp., but I can't control the volume). Tried with the NAD C165 and Parasound P5 but the sound was congested, no details and one dimensional sound.
Now I am looking for the tube or SS pre amplifier with the great details and clarity.
I was suggested Wyred 4 Sound STP-SE but I need the pre amp. with the REC Out.
I can use either 10 k Ohms fixed input or 100 k Ohms variable input.
I will be using Cardas Clear Light Interconnects.
My budget is $3000.00.
Thank you in advance.

Thoebe 2. Owned everything, this is the best under 10k. Great phono, dac is good, not as good as my Exogal Comet plus. Comet one of the best dacs in the world. Watch for great reviews on Thoebe.
I second the Prima Luna. I moved up to the Dialogue Premium from a Prolugue and have been very happy.
I agree with the mismatch between a $3000 pre and your NAD. (I also own an NAD amp and enjoy it so not a knock).

There is a used Quicksilver pre for sale here on AG for ~$850. Might check into that. I don’t know seller.
$3,000 budget I agree is OVERKILL for your amp.
I'd look for McCormack VRE-1c.
