Preamp recommendation please..

Hello,

I'm looking to buy a 2nd hand preamp, to match my Krell Evo 302e amp.
Speakers are Vienna Acoustics Beethoven Concert Grand.
I like setups based on tube preamps and SS amps, but this is not a must.
Most important for me: Transparency, Musicality & Drive. Smooth sound, not thin or clinical.
Fully balanced models are preferred.
Budget is around $3k.
Any help and information would be greatly appreciated.

Tnx.

Found a used ARC LS27 - MINT.
It came with 2 sets of XLR Transparent cables.
Connected to the Krell via balanced inputs.
Bingo.
Great match.
The tubes touch, and still very clean, quite, and transparent.
Costs more than my original budget, but worth every penny.
TNX for sharing your experience.

I have purchased 5R4GYS rectifiers for my Mc60s. Two have bitten the dust and a replacement purchased from Upscale arrived shattered in the packing. Three attempts to contact them on their website, once by phone, no answer.

Hard to find but I suggest you to search about SF Line 3. It's amazing.
