what's the best pre-amp for Cary's V-12r?

am considering the Cary 98 for visual and sonic synergy with this amp. have seen and heard these two together with much delight. but am curious if anyone might throw me another bone to chew on?

thanks in advance.

Timtopper, I have the AES Six Pac's which are quite similar to the V12R and I use a Belles 21A (with Auricaps) with great success. Regards,
