Electrostatic Speakers/SS amp - what tube preamp?


Building my system around a pair of Martin Logan Sequels...got an innersound ss amp and trying to decide if I should go w/ a ss or tube preamp....preamp budget is around $1000.00 (give or take a couple hundred)....any suggestions on brands, matching, things to consider?

Thanks in advance!!!!

Unsound, I'm realy curious about 50Ohms...
If that is the case or near arround even SF can be an issue of compatibility. I might be wrong if SF is transformer-coupled like AN...?
Marakanetz, Why to you feel a 500 ohm out put pre would present a load problem for a 50K ohm input? This is a 100 to 1 ratio. As i recall the minimum is 10 to 1. I would expect that the best thing a user could do would be to ask the manufacturer of the pre amp (if it is not specified in the user manual, as mine was).
Nothing wrong with 50K, I was just wondering about 50Ohms as Unsound stated...???
Marakantetz, good catch. Thanks for keeping everything straight. It should have read as 50K Ohms. Sorry for the typo.
