Tubed Pre match with a Spectron Musician IIISE?

That economic stimulus check will soon be burning a hole in my pants. Wondering about a good tubed preamp (prefer balanced connections) match with the Spectron IIISE. Associated equipment: Cambridge 840C CDP and Von Schweikert 4SR speakers.

I am currently running a Supratek Syrah with my M III SE with great results. It does not have balanced outputs however.

Look into Antique Sound Labs Flora EX-DT line stage. I am using them with a pair of NuForce 9v2se's and have fantastic results. Have read that it also matches up well with the Spectron.

Hello Steve,
Thank you:

Flora - as suggested above is good choice, IMO too
VK3iSE -slightly used
Audio Response - modded Audio Note M2 or M3
Modwright 9.0SE
Consonance R1.1
First Sound - used
LAMM L2 DeLux - used
CAT - used

of course last three are the best but you have to be patient as they are not that often appear on A-goN

All The Best
Rafael
