Tube Preamp Recommendations


I’m looking to get a tube preamp in the near future. Budget is $1k, but might go up to $1.5k. The Freya+ is one that I’m considering. What else is out there in my price range? The preamp will be fed by a SMSL SU-9 DAC. My amp is an upgraded Quad 405, which I recently acquired, and the speakers are AR Classic Series 18.

I picked up a refurnished/upgraded Modwright SWL 9.0 Line Stage from Dan Wright, and I couldn't be happier.

Just another thing to think about.

Aric Audio. Reasonable prices,great products. No affiliation,just a very happy customer.  I have an older Unlimited preamp,that I am currently running with a First Watt J2, with wonderful results.  I also swap in a First Watt F5. The real nice feature on his pre's is the  adjustable gain. The F5 doesn't have as much gain as the J2,so a little week of the adjuster,and bingo, I'm in business. 
A used Atmasphere UV-1 would be in your budget.
I own one and it is pretty sweet.

Thanks for the suggestions.  I will check them out.  I have a Hum X delivering tomorrow in one final attempt to quiet the buzzing from the Rogue.  If that doesn't work, I'm definitely going to need a different preamp.  The Don Sachs preamp really interests me, but I would have to save up some more for that.   
Check Agon ad for Lector ZOE. I had one decades ago, but ordered mine balanced. Really life like
