Looking for warm tube preamp (should pair well with Pass power amp), budget $6000

Right now I have an ARC ref5se and its nice but looking for something of similar quality but warmer (maybe Vac, CJ or something you think will fit well). Looking for smooth sound, full mid range.

Thanks!

I got mine from Kevin Deal with the F1 modifications. I don't think I'll ever sell it. I like it with my AES Sic-Pacs and my Quicksilver Monos.
