1,500 tube preamp which one?

I've budgeted $1500 for a tube preamp. I've a Threshold T-100 SS Amp, Spendor 1/2 speakers and a digital front end. I'm leaning towards a preamp with balanced outs. New or used it doesn't matter. I'd like some feed back.

Thanks everyone.
I found a ARC LS15 with NOS (70's) Sovtek tubes. I couldn't be happier. It's sweet.
My system is now complete. I don't see any changes in the foreseeable future. That is unless I upgrade speaker wire to something better than six bucks a foot wire.
Any suggestions? Remember I'm not Fort Knox.

I cable all my ARC gear with Nordost Quatra-fil interconnects and Nordost SPM bi-wire speaker cable. This stuff works great! If your not ready to dump that kind of cash you might try the Nordost SPM-Ref interconnects with matching speaker cables.

You should also add the Power Modules 20A to your audition list. Good luck!
