Looking for a mid-priced tube preamp

I will be pairing this with Atma-sphere M-60 MKII.3 amps. Balanced outputs would be a plus and used is prefered.
Price range around $1000.

Very full bodied, warm and detailed. In word--musical. Here's a link to a review: http://www.tnt-audio.com/ampli/mad4multra_e.htmlI've heard the Octal 6 is great, but have not heard it myself. The Mapletree products have to be one of the best values out there.
