Tube preamp suggestion


Hello everyone,

I am looking at buying a tube preamp for my setup, I use a vault 2 with qobuz and CD’s ripped in,  schiit bifrost multibit as my dac, odyssey cyclops integrated with passive pre, maggie 1.7i and for cables I use BEL

The main reasons to go for a preamp is to get the tube sound, then in future my intention is to upgrade to mono blocks and definitely would like to have a remote.

I made some choices just based on research, never got a chance to listen. i need some good suggestions as to what might be a good fit. I am looking at spending maximum of 3k.


Rogue rp1

Primaluna evo200

Don saches

LTA MZ2

Odyssey Candela

Rotel base

Freya +

Decware preamp


Thank you!

I have had a Candela and MZ2 and now own a Rogue RP 7 which you can buy used for 3 k.  Big step up from the Odyssey and the MZ2. 
What kind of sound characteristics and improvements are you looking for most?  Kinda tough to make an informed recommendation without knowing these details. 
If you're open to used you might be able to find a Modwright LS100 at your budget.  
the rogue audio RP1 sounds weak imho, very low gain spec.
i had the rogue RH 5 linestage headphone amp and the sound was exceptional. Clean, clear and very powerful with optional gain settings. Stereophile Class A, 2500 retail.
excellent display screen and ergonomics. Balanced input and output a big plus at this price.
Big 3D soundstage.
