Tube Preamp for Odyssey Stratos Dual Mono?

All Audiogon members, I'm looking for a used tube preamp for Stratos Dual Mono. Budget is about $1200-1300 USD. The preamp I currently using is Acurs Ls11. I have these preamp in my mind, IA 3a/M3A,Rogues 99,CJ PV14L or you have better ideas? Anyone here own Stratos dual mono using a tube preamp?

Thanks

I am using a Sonic Frontiers Line-1 with very good results. I have also heard very good things about the AI 3A.

Klaus says the Tempest is a match made in heaven.

I have used the Audio Electronic Supply AE-3 tube pre with the stratos driving Maggies 1.6s with a wonderful result.

Why don't you use a ss preamp that sounds like a tube preamp? Odyssey Tempest.

Don't do it! I have a Stratos, tried tube preamps (Rogue and McIntosh) and hated it, really hated it! I highly suggest the new Musical Fidelity preamps, A3cr or A3.2cr, very nice match, and ate the tube preamps alive in my system.
