Parasound JC-1 amps. Preamp advice??


I'm looking for a preamp with phono stage in the $4-5K range new or used to go with my JC-1 mono blocks. SS or tube. I want to run my table through it so phono stage is a must. Also need balanced inputs and outputs. So far Mac c200 and Ayre K-1x are at the top of my list. The rest of system is...
VPI Scoutmaster with Dynavector 17D2MKII cartridge
Sony SCD-1
Audio Aero Prima SE DAC
XM-Radio
Legacy-Audio Signature III speakers
Cabling is Siltech and LAT
Thanks for any help.

I am a dealer for both Parasound JC-1's and Einstein. The Einstein tube preamp is a perfect match for the JC-1's. The Einstein as balanced out, the JC-1's have balanced in. The combination really opened up my reference system. The Einsten has great dynamics, detail, focus, soundstaging, etc. I highly recommend this combination. If you live in the Houston,Tx area, please call and come by for a listen.
