That said, you could still try the Krell preamp I suggested above as it’ll get you going and likely sound at least very good in your system, and it's good enough to not be out of place if you upgrade your amp down the road. You can always turn around and sell it likely for little loss if/when you get the urge to upgrade.
The only other thing I’d mention is to not ignore the importance of good cables, interconnects, and power cords. If you don’t already have good ones, I’d recommend contacting @grannyring here and have him whip you up some Dueland wires once you get your equipment sorted out. Cullen is making some high value power cords and he sells direct, or you can make your own fairly easily and save a bundle. Sorry if I’m just complicating things here, but just FYI.
