Decent preamp


I didn't say good because I'm in the budget but what's a decent preamp I could buy to work with Aragon 2004 amp? I'm thinking tube but let me know your opinions. Was advised to stay away from emotiva and other factory direct brands but not sure if that's a valid opinion.

Way too many to list, a lot out there.

 Enjoy the ride!
Proceed, if you can find one.  A Mark Levinson in disguise, without the price tag.  Built like a tank.
I support the Freya + suggestion as well. It's balanced and akin to having three preamps in one box.   Depends on how patient you are.  I picked one up right here on Agon for $800 with an extra set of upgraded tubes! If you go this route make sure it's the Freya + and not the original Freya as it's a different beast.
