Preamp for Lamm M1.1 monoblocks

Any general recommendation on what preamp to use with Lamm M1.1 hybrid monoblocks?

I am using Boulder L3AE at this time. I used to match the monoblocks with the Lamm L1 preamp but I was getting over-excited about the very faint power-supply hum and regretfully sold it.

Budget is USD $4000 or less.

Source: Ayon CD2
Speakers: Vienna Acoustics Mahler
Music Genre: Would listen to anything other than rap and heavy metal - mostly orchestral and vocal.

Thanks in advance!

I would go for Lamm LL2.
It is nor true that these Electronics is rolled on top. When someone writes that, he has some colorations in his Systems and should look here first. Or he has problems to understand what is going on. Lamm units are among the most natural sounding gear on market.
LL2 is delivered with normal tubes (not bad, but you can go for Mullards for example, they are really special).
