Reasonably priced preamplifier

At some point in the future, I would like to own a preamplifier from either CH Precision or Soulution but looking at their prices, I do not think that it is going to happen soon. So, until such time, I wanted to ask from experienced users here if there are preamplifiers within 7-8k (used) range that are different from the herd and can provide similar kind of performance that CH or Soulution provides?

I have found pre's do not contribute as much dollar for dollar for me than amplifiers or speakers. The Benchmark and SPL Elector are both very neutral and quiet. New both can be had brand new for half what your budget is.

Rogue RP-1 ($1,795). 12AU7 buffer rounds out sound. Great phono stage if that's important to you. If you want a few more bells and whistles, check out the RP-3, RP-5 and RP-9

Used Zesto Leto Ultra II.   Exceptional sounding preamp.

You are in the sweet spot for a used Allnic L 7000.

I’ve had a L 3000 then L 7000 and now L 8000.

The search ends with the L 8000.

 Check out the reviews , they are very accurate.
