$20k(ish) tube preamps


I am considering adding a tube preamp. Anyone have experience and sonic descriptions/differences of the Luxman CL-1000, Allnic Master and Shindo Labs Vosne-Romane? Source is digital, and downstream is a Luxman M-900u.  Other similar options to consider are welcome as well.  Thanks!

I heard the CL-1000 at my dealers store. It is neutral and very detailed. I heard the preamp hooked up to the Luxman 300B tube amp. Excellent combo. It's similar to my CL38U SE but is a few steps quality wise above mine. There is someone on Audiomart selling a CL-1000 for $6000 off the regular price.

At your budget, you can add the Caddock resistors, and just about all the 'upgrades'.

Though Ralph Karsten is the manufacturer, I would either call or PM him (atmasphere), to get his take on this. He knows just about all that is available, and can give you accurate information, sans bias.
