Tube pre's that work well with Levinson 334

For those of you who've gone through upgrade madness looking for a tubed pre amp that mates well with your Levinson 334, any advice. As long as it's quiet and neutral, I guess what I'm looking for is a 3-D soundstage. A holographic quality with air. Some of you will probably suggest changing the amp but that's not going to happen. Along with tubed pre's like Sonic Frontiers, BAT, and Audio Research, I've also considered the Pass X1, mostly for it's reputed bass solidity.

I found an impedance mismatch with the Pass X0.2 and Levinson amps. BAT VK50SE worked good, but not a match for my current speakers.

Classe and Levinson preamps both have the same output impedance. You can "flavor" your sound with these.

I ended up with the Classe Omega. I bought it used here on the 'Gon. Excellent!

Best,

Paul :-)
