Choosing a good preamp

Hi guys
recently i got my first peace of mcintosh MC275 limited edition but currently feeding it by the pre out stage of my Vincent integrated SV234. 
Experiecing the unbelievable difference and soft tissue of output, i am planning to buy a PreAmp (preferably Mac as well) on next move.
Any recommendation of which series of C xxxx products or even other brands which is match with mc275.
Is it better to go with tube on pre stage as well?
waiting for your kind advise

This all tube McIntosh C-2600 should be a great choice. My friend has one and it is outstanding.

Don’t let one comment get you down. Americans who only speak one language get annoyed when someone who can speak more than one makes a mistake.

I recommend a reissue Mac C22. I owned and used mostly for phono duties. Great sound, more-than-decent phono facilities, tubes and tone controls! What more do you want? Really good piece.

Another vote for the McIntosh C2600.  I have a C2500 and love it.  You get a good bang for the buck, more than most in it's price range.  It has a lot of inputs. I enjoy the two Phono inputs, MM and MC. It has an internal DAC that is not bad based on user comments.
