Can anyone recommend a great tube preamp that also has a headphone out?

Can anyone recommend a great tube preamp that also has a headphone out? One I tried that I really liked is the Zesto Leto 1.5, but it's really pricey. Looking to spend 3 grand, at most. Thanks!

Not a great choice if you are looking for a really tubey sound, but perfect if you value neutrality and dynamics. -John

I'd be pretty surprised if he couldn't meet your specs at or below your price target. Personally, that's what I'd do and never look back. I'm buying his preamp as soon as I get spousal approval. Best of luck in your search.
