$3000 PreAmp Recommendations

12.75.202.228

I'm new into this and need some tube advice. I currently have Audio Physic Libras with Proceed HPA2 SS amp (250 wpc). This amp seems to be a good match for the power hungry speakers. I listen to primarily acoustic jazz and light rock.

I am looking for more liquidity and less electronic ring (although there's not much there right now). I have a Rotel pre-amp and CD. I am thinking about trying to upgrade the pre-amp to tubes, but there are absolutely no tube dealers in my city.

What recommendations do you have in the 2 - 3K range? Also, if I buy used, what should I watch out for with tubes? I know ARC is the benchmark, but their stuff seems rather expensive. What about Audible Illusions? Rogue? Herron?

Thanks.
