what pre-amps to try


Hello all, I am trying to build a moderate system using used Parasound Halo, JC-1 mono blocks. I think I would like to pair with a tube pre. I get a little confused on the compatibility issues. Some of the specs are greek to me.(impedence} So I am wanting to know what preamps are a good match electronically for the JC=1s. I know sound is completely subjective, just want to avoid incompatible components. I am looking for a list of things to try/consider. Balanced inputs a must. My speakers are Tyler Acoustics Woodmere II, all streaming, HD Tracks or CD(Oppo 105), so no phono necessary. Let's say $3000.00 budget, used if fine, thanks for any suggestions, Mizike.

I would consider Audible Illusions LS1a as one option.  The upgraded (Factory) Jolida Fusion is another. Obviously, there are others. The used market opens greater possibilities.

I am currently using a Jolida Fusion with my BEL 1001MK5. I like the concept of using a tube pre with SS amp. Especially with digital front end.
That was my thought also Mesch. I was just not familiar enough with details of compatibility to know what to consider. Thanks for your input, Mizike.
Mizike,
I would give serious attention to the Atmasphere UV-1 preamplifier, . When you take into consideration the Designer  and his company's pedigree this UV-1 could be a very exceptional product. The output impedance is only 400 ohms and would be easily matched with your power amplifier. It utilizes the 6SN7 tubes which is a good choice IMO.
Charles, 
I agree that the UV-1 is likely another fine candidate,  I failed to mention that as I have never owned or heard one. The LS1 also used 6SN7 tubes.  Also FWIW both are made in the US. And as I consider this, the UV-1 is far less expensive I believe, allowing for some serious tube rolling. In addition, I believe Atma-Sphere can make one designed for your input needs.
