Used Tube Preamp Suggestions


Looking for suggestions on a used ( because the budget is under 1K, and preferably in the 600-800 range ) tube preamp to match with my new tube amp. I don't use a phono stage, just a line, so a strong phono stage would only be good for possible re-sale. I'm a little concerned about buying something "vintage" and not getting the time in down the road. I'm leaning towards an Audio Research SP9 mkII or a Rogue Perseus which I read a review it was noisy. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Rich

I started 15 years ago with a used Audible Illusion preamp and was and still am very pleased. There are several used on the market.
This is a simple answer.  I have a used Don Sachs tube preamp for sale, with all the serial upgrades and will be posting an ad for it soon.  I upgraded to his new preamp, but the original undated preamp is fantastic.  It does not have a remote.  Hit me up with a PM if you are interested.  
You might be able to find a used line stage only version of the UV-1 in that price range.
