Cary Preamp SLP-94L

What amp do you plan to pair your new pre with?  And what's your budget?

Good morning to you 3 folks who responded to my inquiry. Thanks for your input. I have taken note of your comments. 
To "3-easy-payments":  After college and paying some of my way by building DYNACO kits, I bought a Cary SLA-70B amp together with the SLP-94L Pre-Amp about 25 years ago.  . I was looking for smooth, warm sound, with a tight bass response which was achieved for many years. The SLP-94L is now dead and I want to replace it with something similar to what I had. Right now I have the Cary Amp SLA-70B connected to an "old" pre-amp PAT-5 from Dynaco that works quite well, but is OLD and does not have the warmth and silky sound I am accustomed to.
Money is not an issue here. Notwithstanding, I don't want to pay for a "Lexus" if I don't have to, but don't want to get a "Hyundai" simply because it is inexpensive. I'm looking to pair the new pre-amp with my existing SLA-70B.  The Rogue Audio RP-1 looks real good also.  Opinions please!

Audio Research Ref 5SE. The gold standard for the last decade (until the Ref 6 arrived).

Thank you dweller. Believe it or not, I could not find any info at Audio Research for the REF 5SE and I didn't care much for the REF 6. I don't care for the looks or the front of this pre-amp. It may be a fabulous product, but it does not impress me.  Sorry!

I'd avoid ARC like monkey plague. I much prefer Cary.\

Why not recap your SLP-94L?
