Looking for a tube preamp that has xlr outputs.

As the topic says looking for a new or used tube preamp that has xlr outputs to go to my vtv amplifier.  Will be looking for dac next for streaming music.  But back the preamp.  Price is under 2500.  Used is ok since you can often get more bang for the buck.  

What suggestions do people have?  I like to listen to everything from blues to assic

Thanks @fthompson251 

@mclinnguy I didn't see xlr on that one. And 3 is stretching it.

If you’re worried about truly balanced that’s one thing. If you just want to hook it up get a single ended to xlr plug. I have some nice Cardas ones if interested.

@dlowman sorry about that, I own this one, (not my ad) and assumed the previous model had balanced as well.

Read this just for knowledge even if it is out of your price range. Hell of a pre amp- weighs 53 lbs.
