I have personally found the Audible Illusions preamps to work extremely well with this amp (L-1 or M3A) It warms the slightly lean sound of the .5 up a bit without sacrificing clarity or bass performance. If you have a higher output source component, the McCormack TLC-1 passive line stage works well but I prefer the added drive of the AI.

Since McCormack makes good and inexpencive passive premps such as Line Drive and TLC they will certainly match. You can go for more expencive models such as AudioSynthesis or Placette.
