Tube Pre suggestions for Mac Amp

I have a McIntosh power amplifier that I am running CD directly into. I wanted to know if any of you Gon'ers have had any experience using a tubed pre on a Mac solid state amp and what you found to be a synergistic match.

Any speaker seems to perform to its fullest especially the Magnepan 3.6R it makes one want to step up to the 20.1R.

I've been using the Mac C2300 preamp with my MC352 (solid state) stereo amplifier. It's a nice combination, and the phono stage in the C2300 it flexible and has worked well for me. Tube rollers say that improvements can be had with better tubes in the C2300, but I've not yet tried this.
