Tube preamp for my Bryston 7B3

Hi Goners...

  I'm currently running Bryston 7B3 Amps from a Bryston BP26 Preamp to Focal Sopra 2's.  VERY HAPPY with things but thinking of adding (not replacing my BP26) a tube preamp just for that occasional sound change we get. Has anyone experimented with different tube preamps for their Bryston 7B3?  I realize the Bryston has a low 7.5K ohm input and may be tough to find a good tube match. 

tnx...2bz

Hi All,
Thanks for giving me units to research. Soix ...to answer your question...budget $3K - $6K (but doesn't mean I wouldn't like to spend less if it's a real over achiever).  I love the detail and dynamics I'm getting from my current system but have a curiosity about the "Tube Magic" others seem to love.Our hobby is kinda like poison ivy....you can do things to stop the itch for a while but without fail the itch returns. I'm looking at all your above suggestions......

tnx to all ...2bz.

Hi Goner's...

Has anyone tried Prima Luna (EVO 400 caught my eye but also heard good things about Cary too) and or Cary tube preamps with the Bryston 7B3 monoblocs...and what did you think.

Been very happy with my Bryston BP26 preamp but got the "Audio Itch" again.

tnx!
