Need help with a Tube PREAMP.


I currently use a Solid State 2 channel AMP with an Input of 20k(unbal) 40k(bal). I am looking for a great Tube PreAmp for around $2500 that would mate well with the AMP. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

You might check out the deHavilland UltraVerve. Dagogo has a nice review that compares it to other more expensive preamps like Shindo and Allnic. Worth a read. dagogo.com/boppin-down-memory-lane-preamps

I fell in love with the UltraVerve when I first auditioned it in my shop and it fared well against Joule Electra and Art Audio and more.
I have been a dealer for about 10 years now.
The shindo auriges as mentioned in that review is very good and can be found used from time to time near the budget of the op. check don betters website for deals. He has them from time to time.
I have a McIntosh MC352 stereo AMP (solid state). I drive a pair of Dynaudio Contour 3.0's.Click my SYSTEM next to my name and see pics. I want detail and attak! I listen to classic rock and Jazz mostly. I use a Prima Luna Prologue now and it has low gain, 11 db. I dont really care about remote.
I don't know if a SET preamp is going to mate with the solid state amp I have. Any other suggestions? Or has anyone used a combination of tube pre and SS amp?
