What tubed preamp that is not too fussy ?

Would like to experiment to see if it is for me. Will go to
a Rotel amplifier (200wx5) with 33k input impedence. It will be fed by an Audio Aero Prima CD player. Would prefer
$500 or less new or used. Would like something that wouldn't take a lot of tweeking, easily acquired and easy to resell. It would be used with JM Lab Electra 926 speakers with rock and blues music.

Audio Research LS7 or Conrad Johnson PV10 would be good for a few reasons:
- relatively many out there, so not too tough to find
- well known widely distributed, thus easier to resell
- good sound for the price
- easy to use, easy to roll tubes if you like
- companies that will be around
Neither of these is the ultimate pre, but given your constraints, IMHO they are safe choices...
