Tube pre amp

I'm now on my third piece of Schiit gear as, based on very positive reviews and my experience with my other two Schiit items, I just bought a Mani 3 headphone amp (as everybody should for 100 bucks...it's almost free)...so a Freya, the amazing Loki EQ, and a Mani 3 for less than a grand should make more than a few other companies somewhat worried as all three are superb sounding, quiet running, no nonsense designs. I did not expect the Freya to be "that good" until I put it in my rig last year, and yeah...it is that good.

Not long ago I purchased at few tubes from Upscale Audio so now half the Web sites I visit have advertising banners from Upscale.  Anyway they are really pushing the trade in's, a few pretty nice pre-amps.  Their site may be worth a visit.  

MAGNI 3  (not Mani 3 which might not be an actual thing, but there is a Mani phono preamp), which, by the way, is an astonishingly great sounding little amp, built like a tank (albeit a very small tank).

The dehavilland Ultra Verve............a classic preamplifier that is certain to satisfy....

I will, most likely, get the Backert Labs Rhumba 1.3 next month.
