While I have basically been looking at mic pres with a USB output, the PreSonus TubePre looks pretty good, though at about $130 it may be more than you want to spend.  Behringer makes a 12AX7 preamp and a solid-state one which sell for about $45.  ART, M-Audio, Nady, Rolls all make preamps too.  Check out BSW, B&H or your favorite supplier.
