Suggestions on Tube Pre-amp. Please


I looking for a used Tube Pre-amp 1000-1500.00.It will be matches with a Aragon 8008bb Amp pushing Tyler Ref.Monitors.
I have read a few review that describe the aragon sound as tad warm and darker. Sould I be looking for a Pre that is more detailed than tube like.
Models that I have concidered. Rouge Audio 66
BAT VK3i
Audible Illusions 3a

Thanks

I also agree that you should give a Rogue 66 a listen. There is one for sale right now on audiogon (centurymantra member). I used a Rogue 66 for about a year and loved it and then decided to move up to the Rogue 99. The Rogue customer service is outstanding which is another reason I recommend a Rogue pre. Good luck in your search and let us know what you decide on!
I have the Rogue 66 Magnum and I'm very pleased with it.
If you buy a new one, you will probably want to replace the stock tubes but other than that it's, imho, one of the better values in audio.
And yes, customer service is some of the best I've encountered.
Sonic Frontiers line 1 should work well. The Sonic Frontiers preamps are some of the least tubelike tube preamps.
Hey everyone thanks for the info. I have e-mailed the person here on Audiogon that has the Rogue 66 for sale for 825.00. Unit looks in good condition. Still waiting on a response from the owner. If I purchase this unit can I still have it upgraded to the Magnum?

Thanks
Jim
Jim (sorry missed the "J" key the 1st time) - you can send it into Rogue and for $250 (+ freight both ways) you can get it upgraded. Check out the Rogue site to confirm price and details of the upgrade.
