Amp for Talon Raven C


hi
i am looking for an amp that matches the talon raven c well.
i am open to pre/power amp combinations or integrated and would prefer to have tubes in the pre section.
prize range is 4000$ used but less would be better.
i read good things about

Belles 150 A ref
Simaudio Moon W5
Electrocompaniet MOnos 220 W

preamps i had on my shortlist:

Dehavilland ultraverve
Cary slp 98 or 2002
conrad johnson?

any shared experiences with these or others would be very welcome.
cable recommendations are also appreciated.for now i use analysis plus .
thanks

I use mine with a Tact 2150.
It's the best amp i found so far, tried some Classé, a GamuT D200 but the Tact is way better.
I think that i replaced 15.000$ of components (Orpheus One DAC, Classé CP65 pre and GamuT D200) with 5000$ of Tacts and get a better sound.
Now i don't feel the need to replace my electronics every 3 or 4 months anymore.
