preamp for CJ premier 11A power amp


Hello all,
I just acquired a Conrad Johnson premier 11a power amplifier. I am looking for a good preamp to match up with it. I am considering a cj pv10 or 12, rogue metis, sonic frontiers line 1 or sfl 1, etc.
any experience or recommendations would be helpful.
Thank in advance

PV 12 over the PV10. Been years since I’ve heard either but recall the PV12 being much better with a big tube sound. The Sonic Frontiers SFL 1 which I owned is nice but the Line 1 is a much better preamp. The Line 1 with the right NOS tubes has just the right amount of tube sound but still remains neutral and it doesn’t over color things. Not familiar with the Rogue, but I’d take the Sonic Frontiers Line 1 easily over the others.
