Need help with a Tube PREAMP.

I currently use a Solid State 2 channel AMP with an Input of 20k(unbal) 40k(bal). I am looking for a great Tube PreAmp for around $2500 that would mate well with the AMP. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Dagogo has a nice review that compares it to other more expensive preamps like Shindo and Allnic. Worth a read. dagogo.com/boppin-down-memory-lane-preamps I fell in love with the UltraVerve when I first auditioned it in my shop and it fared well against Joule Electra and Art Audio and more. I have been a dealer for about 10 years now.
