Suggestion used tube amp between $1,500-2,000

With my low budget I would love anyone suggestion to pick a nice tube amp to match my equipments.  I am really love the warm sound of vocal, mostly will listen to vocal.  Will be use with Audio Research LS7 pre, Schist Gungnir DAC, Sonus Faber Venere 2.5.  

Thank you,
Eddy

Well the ARC and Cary sound are very different. Both have their fans, but only you can decide whether you want the transparency of the ARC or the warmth of the Cary.

Had you looked into a rebuilt H/K Citation 2?

The Citation had/has excellent bandwidth even be today's standards. I mention this amp as it is still a contender and a fellow named Jim McShane is well-known for excellent rebuilds which will challenge any modern amplifier, and they seem to be at the right price point.
