Tube Pre, HT Pass and Balanced Output


Is anybody aware of such a piece of equipment under $3000? New or used is fine and something on the more "tubey" side in terms of warmth would be great (the CJ PV-14L2 comes to mind but its single ended out). I've tried searching the threads, but don't come up with much. Looking to improve the 2 channel portion of this HT/2 channel system. I would like to avoid debating the merits of balanced v. single ended as I already have many single ended options. Is this price even realistic?

Thanks.

The SF Line series fits the description with the top model, the Line-3, being outstanding. Not terribly tube-y, though.

The BAT pres should fill the bill nicely--with BAT equip you can set a specific input to unity gain.
The Aesthetix Calypso meets your criteria, I think; I've seen them in the range $3-3500 used on Audiogon,

These are "tube" preamps with HT and balanced out, not necessarily "tubey":
