Tube preamp with the "most" for 1k used, 2k new?

1. Don't need phono. 2. My amp is 60k ohms impedance.

Modwright or DeHavilland or ARC or VTL?

What amp will it be used with? The TAD 125s? With ARC, I'd expect those to provide a most resolving sound similar to the best tube gear I have heard, which tends to resemble SS more.

VTl and DeHavilland made my short list when looking probably can't go wron with either of those as well. Probably more of a personal taste thing. My gut says those will sound more "tubey" than the ARC based on what I have read, but have never actually heard these.

Preamp will be paired with the TAD 125 monoblocks, preferably a preamp with a smaller tube complement -- two to three tubes max.

(Not counting the rectifier.)
