I think you can't go wrong with a BAT VK-3i or any of its more expensive siblings. The VK-3is can be had at fair prices in the used market and you get them w/remote and/or phono board installed, so be sure of what you are buying and don't pay for what you don't need. They are fully balanced designs.
Tube Preamp into Active Speakers - Recommendations
I am the happy owner of some Quad 12L Actives and currently run them via a mid-fi Rotel 1070 preamp. I'd like to try a tube preamp but would like to keep both the noise and budget to a minimum. That said, I think I'd like to have balanced outputs on the tube premap.
