Tube preamp with Adcom amp


I have been wanting to use a tube preamp in my system but never had the chance to try one. I recently purchase an Adcom GFA-5500 with a Rotel RC-995 and to be honest, is sound good but I want to try something different. I am using the Vandersteen 2ci as my speakers. Due to my style of music, I have always been a SS guy. What would recommend for a tube preamp that will work with the 5500?

Pretty much anything… Conrad Johnson, Audio Research, Aesthetix, Rogue, Belles, VTL, Herron, Quicksilver… You should also ask over at the Vandersteen owners forum….

What is your budget ?
