Reasonably priced preamplifier

At some point in the future, I would like to own a preamplifier from either CH Precision or Soulution but looking at their prices, I do not think that it is going to happen soon. So, until such time, I wanted to ask from experienced users here if there are preamplifiers within 7-8k (used) range that are different from the herd and can provide similar kind of performance that CH or Soulution provides?

@gopaljeen  Townshend Audio Allegri Reference Passive preamp. There are a few lightly used ones for sale on us audio mart in your price range.

It has received many excellent reviews.

The PS Audio BHK is a very good choice for the price.  But if willing to pay the 7-8k pick an Audio Research ls28se.  In my opinion almost as good as a Ref6.

Pathos Incontrol MK II. Small Italian company with rich but neutral sound. It also has the advantage of low output impedance- which makes it easy to pair with SS amp. 
I am not in US but believe that Upscale Audio stock them. 
Good luck!

Any Jeff Rowland preamp. Works of art, quiet and quite reasonable in the used market.
