Preamp for Art Jota

Hello,

I bought a used art jota tube amp with volume control and have found
it lacks that tube magic without a line stage. I am feeding a Zesto tube preamp into it.

I would only want a tube linestage with a remote. It's paired with a
Reference 3A episode with a rock 7 turntable and ortofon mcA90 cart in my second system

I was thinking perhaps a CJ ET3. The Zesto Leto would be an obvious choice but too pricey for a second system

Thanks

Michael

So tried the a nice mullard and felt the loss of clarity in my system made the amperex a better fit....I then tried wave kinetic footers under my jota and that really made amp sing......dont get why manufacturers dont use better footers...

I am still curious what a preamp would do to the sound but am happy now and don't want the pain of buying something even used here and reselling although the CJ ET or an Art preamp is a bit enticing
