yet another tube preamp recommendation thread

hello, currently looking for tube preamp linestage upgrade recommentations.
recently tried an older cary audio slp98p f1 edition with new tubes. i do not need phono capability.
the cary had a lot going for it, an incredible midrange, very good bass and transparency, it just sounded unrefined and ragged in the treble on occasion, possibly due to the new tubes.
a new Slp 98 l with upgrades is a considetation.
also considering primaluna evo 300 or 400
and rogue audio rp7.
i value transparency, refinement and dynamics the most.
thanks.

Disclaimer: I am a Sachs preamp owner.

Don was great during the whole process, from building the preamp to delivering the preamp. He always answers emails promptly and offers advice. I happen to love the sound of the Model 2, but I understand it may not please everyone. But I can't imagine Don ever being anything other than helpful to any owner of his equipment.
