In need of a preamp with a prominent display

I think that the MicroZOTL MZ3 is the very limit of my budget. Last I looked it runs about $3700. I can do that, but if some of these other suggestions come in under that and fit my criteria, then I will choose wisely. It's a big decision.

Currently the Threshold is being refurbished at Vintage Amp Repair. When I get it back and again listen with the Freya+, then I hope to have decided on a preamp with the ergos and sound I'm looking for. Everyone has been a great help with your suggestions. I will post my results when I take the new plunge.

A Rogue RP5 has a large display.  You can see everything from across the room. Any Newer McIntosh preamp has the display you want.

I'll second the Moon by Simaudio recommendation. Lovely big displays that I can read clear across the room. They sound terrific too.

I would also second the recommendation for Audio Research.  I had an LS27 that I sold chasing the rabbit down the BAT VK-33SE hole.  The display was nice, but there were other things about it I didn't care for, so I went with a LTA MicroZOTL Level 2 preamp, but didn't like the volume display (even at the lowest brightness it was still SO bright in a dark room) plus you couldn't see which input you were on.  Sold that and went with an Audio Research Reference 3 and I think I'm set for a while.  You can see the volume from down the block, it dims to a perfect brightness and it's easy to see which input is active too.
