    Back on track then,
    For the OP,
    I will share my own ideas of what I deemed as the nearest I could come up with as the perfect preamp for me at the time, which by the way’ I still use in my own system today.
    The preamp was designed to compliment the power amps I was building at the time.
    These are the attributes I decided were most important, and achievable.
    Wide band-width.
    Near Perfect stereo matching between channels at all levels of attenuation, and frequencies.
    Low noise.
    High build quality.
    Directly coupled circuitry throughout
    Input impedance fixed ie; not affected by attenuator.
    Low Output impedance, again that wasn’t affected by attenuation at any position,. circuitry that was capable of driving all types of cables and lengths [realistically]
    Without serious drive, and bandwidth limitations.

    Its now a conspiracy theory to believe that the Immune system is capable of doing the job it was designed to do.

    The perfect preamp ........almost

    It needs a Valve in it
