What pre-amp would you choose

Hi
I am looking for some input for a new/used tube per-amp. I have the audio research vt 130 , Ah tjobe 4000 , magnepan 3.6R and transparent super cable. I am looking for the best tube pre-amp to match with my system. What would you choose?

No preamp at all ... buy something like a Resolution Audio CD50 or 55 and run it direct to the amp. If you are only going to have one source, this is an excellent way to upgrade your front-end (other CD players from Wadia, Theta, Accuphase, etc also have variable outputs which would allow you to eliminate the preamp altogether) ... just my 2 cents

Should be able to snag a BAT VK5i for about $2K. Or a 3i w/remote and phono for about $1.25K.
