Need to upgarde the preamp for my Ayre V3


I would appreciate the opinions of others in this regard.
I own a Ayra V3 for a couple of years now, and at the time was only able to purchase a used Audio Reserach SP-6 tube pre-amp.
I'd like to upgrade the pre-amp with something that is balanced and offers a great colaboration.
Anything in the 2000 range?
Also, is the upgrade for the v3 worth while?

I can only comment on the Ayre V3 ie: whether worth a pre-amp upgrade? I have the V3 now for more than a few years now with various pre-amp upgrades & it has not dissappoint. Unless you are after a muscle amp such as a Pass Lab X350.5 or even the CJ Premier 350, the Ayre V3 (100 watt) is a great amp, even when compared to the more recent models.
Good luck.
