pre-amp recommendation wanted

Amp/Preamp Asylum

Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here.

My NAD 114 Stereo Preamplifier has kicked the bucket, so I am looking for an upgrade to replace it. Note: a year ago, I posted an inquiry about speaker cables and several inmates suggested I upgrade the preamp. Well, the time has come. Any suggestions?

I want at least two outputs, one for the power amp and one for the headphone amp. Another line stage output for use with a tape recorder would be good. If it has a phono input, I'd like one that can handle MC 0.4mV. Otherwise, I'll use my Jasmine phono stage.

My dealer has suggested tube preamps for under $3000. by Rogue and by Primaluna.
