Two tube preamps that I used to own that fullfill your criteria are Marsh P2000t and Audio Mirror P-61. Both are outstanding for the price and I would recommend over several other (big name) preamps within $1000.

The TAD 150 also responds well to tube rolling, though that isn't unique in the tube preamp world.
Without any reservations I would strongly recommend the new Norh ACA-2B tube preamp for $299.00 plus shipping from overseas. Bested most all the tube preamps I have had regardless of price. Transparency, detail, and big dynamics were its best attributes. When compared to other tube preamps (and I have tried some the pres DVDGRECO mentioned) it was like removing a veil from the music.
