For miking acoustic instruments, a great preamp

Add me to the list of people recommending a good mike preamp. For most
recording, I don't mind the preamps in my Behringer mixer, but I'd had
the opportunity to borrow a nice preamp to use with my mediocre Octava
mics, and was really very happy with the results.
On the other hand, I realized how much I dislike my Behringer T1953
tube preamp :-/
I had seen some cautions before about Behringer, so if it is cooked, I
probably will replace it, but my financial situation is "badly bent"
just now.
I think the priorities I will set will be some pro sound card first,
then a preamp.
I really don't care compression in acoustic music as I think the
dynamics are very important for the "mood" changes we want to deliver in
our tune sets.
I (and my eldest son) grew out of the rock and roll stage and discovered
that music, like a good single malt whisky, improves with age....
