Preamp for Krell KSA 250 and Thiel 3.6?

Folks,
I have the following -
Krell KSA 250 Amp, Audible Illusions Modulus 3A pre, Thiel 3.6 speakers, Acoustic Zen speaker cables, Pioneer PD-65 CD player, and Signal interconnects. I am looking to change the preamp first JUST BECAUSE it has a separate power supply box with an attached umbilical cord. I am now into using fewer smaller boxes to achieve the same or better sound at the same price. Can anyone recommend a preamp or comment/suggest on the system in general?
if possible.

Krell KBL goes GREAT with the KSA250, but it has a outboard power supply as well.

I second the KBL, but figure on sending it to Krell for replacement of some of the older parts, unless you find one for which that has already been done.

The KBL is an excellent preamp and a perfect match for the 250. If I were going for a better preamp (KRC-HR), I think I would first upgrade the amp. ... to the KSA300 or better yet to the FPB300.

Just my opinion,
Richard (who has owned all of the above)
