Preamp for my Accuphase A-45 power amplifier

Hi
Alltough I already sold something very fast here, I am new at Audiogon. I'm spanish so I want to appologize upfront for the many errors against the english language.
I had been reading lots of opinions about analogue gear and found this forum a fantastic place full of knowledge and experience.
Since last year I onwn an Accuphase A-45 power amplifier that I bought as a demo device from a dealer in our neighbourhood. So far it has been ran with an old Luxman C-03 preamplifier. The dealer tried to convince me to buy an Accuphase control amplifier but I beleive that the musicality of a tube amplifier may be nicer in combination with this very resolving, clear and transparent A-45.
Any thoughts, experiences and recommendations would be very welcome
Thanks in advance

I think you have a very good idea re pairing a tube pre with the A-45.

I chose a couple of Conrad Johnson tube pres (ART and ACT 2.2) to go with my Pass XA.5 ss amps. You didn't mention budget (always important when someone asks for recs). Less $ than the ART or ACT 2.2, I'd feel safe in recommending the Premiere 16, maybe the 17.

Find the right tube pre and I think you will be real happy. Good luck.
