Hybrid Balanced Tube Preamp?


Hi Guys,
I am running a hybrid power amplifier which has two tube complement in the input section (rest is a solid state but class A) - i want to partner this amplifier a equally good "Hybrid Tube Preamp" which is Fully/Truly balanced, and would like "minimal" tubes..most shortlisted now seems unattainable because these units carry 4 or more tubes (Veloce,cary SLP) and the other brands have tubes in the output stage and mostly unbalanced (redwine audio,herron etc) - do you guys know of any other brands? does it make sense for me run a SS preamp like Hegel etc? i guess it defeats the purpose of then again having tubes in the power section!

take a look at the AVM PA 5.2. this is a modular design balanced preamp with 2 12ax7 in the output stage.
AV SHOWROOMS has a very nice review of this pre
As a disclaimed I am a dealer for AVM AUDIO
