Preamp for Plinius SA-103


I have decided to get the SA-103 for power duties, but currently deciding on a preamp.Any recommendations for good synergy? I have Dynaudio C1, with a Marantz SA11-S2 as a source. It could be either solid state or tube.

I used a Aesthetix Claypso signature with a Plinius sa-50 MkIII. Really nice. Still have the Plinius but using an Atlas for primary amp. The aesthetix has 2 gain settings. I used the default lower setting.
An older Audio Research might be too warm but the newer ones and BAT tube pre's were a good match for my Plinius SA-100 MKIII when I had it. I think a good tubed pre would sound very nice.
I currently have this set-up, Plinius SA103, Audio Horizon preamp 2.1nB, Dynaudio C1. The AH preamp IMHO worked really well with my set-up. AH also has free audition. Good luck.
I used a Blue Circle BC3/3000 with a Plinius SA100 MKII/III to good effect.
You may have already decided, but, having used all tubes, all SS, and mixing Tubes with SS, then finally buying the Plinius sa 103's and bi-amping with NAT Symmetrical Tube pre-amp, I'm vary vary close to nirvana when listening to music. The SA 103's are shot gunned to B@W 802D's. Wiring is important, so I use Acoustic Zen. These two products, NAT and Plinius, are not talked about much, but I would recomment them to anyone who's not rich and love's music. Best of luck in your search.
