Over the years with Odyssey amps I have used Music Reference, Kora, Modwright LS-100, PS Audio BHK, Anthem Pre-2L,Sonic Frontiers Line 2 SE+ and W4S STP-SE. Never heard the LTA but have a friend who has used it with multiple SS amps and loves it. My experience with Odyssey amps and the description of the LTA from him and other owner makes me think it would be a good match. Also unless you are looking used most of the ones I have tried are either not available much anymore or over your stated price goal. As the Odyssey amps have low input sensitivities in the 1 volt range you need to be careful of tube preamps with high gain especially if your speakers have sensitivity ratings much over the mid-80's range.
