Best tube preamp ever


I am trying to invest into a preamp. I would like to get the best of the best of tube preamps. Can anyone comment on what or which brand I should be looking at if money was not an object.
Thank in advance!

Semi, with the IEC connector at the bottom of the chassis, what power cable do you use?
I have spent time with ARC Ref 5, (Krell Evo 2, Tidal Prescenio..SS). I have spent time with dealer of Shindo, Wavac, Zanden and i inquired about each of their flagships. Interestingly, he recommended CJ GAT (which he did not sell), and which i now am blessed to own (demo).
I am just about finished with my DHT preamp. If anyone in the local NYC area wants to hear what this preamp can do in their system, let me know. I think you will be very suprised on what you hear. Shoot me an email and we can arragne a meeting to hear it. bigkidz@optonline.net

A little off-topic here, but what kind of attenuators are used in these high end preamps? Are they mostly stepped ones?
What brands? (Alps, Dact, TKD, Panasonic, others?)
I challenge anyone to try the preamp from Coincident and to say something else is better .
