Is there a tube based 5.1 preamp on the market?


Hi All.
I have a friend using a 5 ch. Butler audio tubed amp.
He's using his old Sony rcv as a preamp.
Looking to see it there are any tube 5 ch preamps one the market.
If not,whats the best HT preamp for ~$1000 used.
Thanks,
Dave

Please be aware that the Fosgate only does Prologic decoding. It doesn't decode Dolby Digital or DTS.
Better to go mono block or three separate units, then your choice for tube amps expands greatly.
The Fosgate is discontinued (as is Fosgate). Conrad-Johnson makes a tube-based 5.1 preamp but it is out of the price-range, too.
