Recom for Preamp $400 for Forte Model4a/Spicas?

Would appreciate some recommendations on a preamp to go with my Forte Model 4a and Spicas TC60's. I'm considering the Forte Model 2. Also looking for a reasonable $$ CD player. This is my first system I am putting together. I love to listen to Classical music and Jazz primarily. Any input is appreciated.

I have a Monarchy SM-70 Pro, which is all class A like your Forte 4a, along with Von Schweikert VR-1s, so our setups are similar. I'm partial to 6SN7 preamps, so here's one possibility in your price range:

If you can stretch your budget a little, there are also a Wright WLA12A and a Mapletree 5B for sale right now; I have no connection with any of these sellers.

I own the Wright, and it's a sweet combination. None of these have phono, though.
