Short list:
EAR 834P deluxe
Lehmann Silver Cube
Manley Chinook
Parasound JC3+
Rega Aria
All but the Rega, I would need to purchase used, but I see them listed pretty often. I really enjoyed the PH10 used with the iFi iTube2, but that was make-shift (half-assed), so that's why i've included a few true tube preamps on the list.
Of course, I'm going to be using the PS Audio NuWave shortly, and I'm curious to see how it integrates with my new system. It's been almost a year, and two systems later, since the first time I owned one. I remember loving it, so we'll see..
