Good preamp for Bel Canto EVo 200.2?


I got this amp last week through Audiogon contact. Now I need a decent preamp. A lot of what I have read says that preamp is maybe more important than the amp. Soundstage had good luck with a tube (Gill) pre. Cary is made across town. Would their new balanced pre be a good way to start? How about BC PRe1? Any other suggestions?

I saw the new Cary today. I doesn't look like the other Cary preamps because it's an enclosed box, no exposed tubes. It's a real balanced pre with only 4 tubes. It does have a tube headphone stage. For those that HT, it does have HT pass through like VAC. The remote is included , and is simple volume and mute only. I'm sold and haven't heard it . I'm gonna order the first of Nov so I have it for Christmas.

I had the Evo mated to an Audio Research LS15 and it didn't do it for me, but with the new CJ PFR pre amp I find the sound alive and involving and basically breath taking. This combo may not be for everyone as it is a little bright for some, but the detail and transparency are amazing!

I gave up on the EVo200.2 because of the forward tonal balance and bright top end. My suggestion is to mate the EVo with a tube preamp., and the one everyone is raving about,, and the one I'll own in the next 2 weeks is the Kora Eclipse. Visit the Kora site at www.kora.com or net I believe.
