What preamp?

I have just purchased a ARC Vt-100mk2 and now know that my tubed preamp Quicksilver is my weakest link in my system. I am looking for VT-100 mk2 owners, what preamps work with this amp? Tube or SS?

System:
VT 100mk2
Quicksiler Fulfunction pre
Tyler Acoustic Lynbrook Sign. monitor
EMC MK2 CD player
Nordost Blue Heaven Speaker & IC's

Get a Pass X-1 or and adcom 750. IMHO, YMMV. The best of both worlds.

Do you neccessary need a full-function preamp?
If yes try EAR834 full-function that will upgrade you substantially from Quicksilver.
Among SS preamps you can lookup Plinius M16 that incorporates excellent phono section as well.
