New tube preamp

Recently upgraded speakers (Audio Physic Virgo III's), so now I've got a little upgrade fever.

Current amplification is a PSE SL preamp and PSE Studio V stereo amp. Thinking it might be good to go with a tube and/or hybid preamp.

I think I've narrowed it down to a PSE HL 1 hybrid, or Audible Illusions Modulus 3 -- both are around +/- $800 (and there's a couple of 3A's out there for about $1200).

Any suggestions about these units and the amp/speaker combination.

Thanks for your help.
