Tube Pre-amp Suggestions.

I have a Coda No 8 power-amp and was looking for some suggestions on what would a good tube pre-amp that would pair up with it?

Thank you!

Multiple balanced and RCA outputs, remote, theater mode, and wonderful sound quality with my other equipment—Fyne F-702 speakers and Odyssey Audio monobloc power amps, along with a pair of Rythmik subwoofers. It is well made here in the USA, in Pennsylvania.

On their website, if you click on the Preamplifiers picture and then on the. RP-7, there is a picture of the back that you can enlarge, showing these connections. The accompanying text states that it is a balanced preamplifier. I am using both sets of balanced outputs and one set of the balanced inputs, from my Schiit Gungnir 2 DAC.
