Tube pre amp

Have two power amps a Ocm 200 and Emotiva Xpa 2 Gen 1 . Thinking of getting a tube preamp
one in mind is a Vincent Sa 31.

Would this be good match and what kind of sound stage and detail could be expected?

Sonic characteristics such as soundstage, detail, realism are determined by the specific design and also the type of tubes used in the circuit. Many great used tube pre's for sale.
