Decent preamp


I didn't say good because I'm in the budget but what's a decent preamp I could buy to work with Aragon 2004 amp? I'm thinking tube but let me know your opinions. Was advised to stay away from emotiva and other factory direct brands but not sure if that's a valid opinion.

Hmm Van Alstine.. forgot about that brand. I'll take a look at those. Good suggestion. Proceed was a good one too. Thanks guys!
Vintage Conrad Johnson pv series pre..
sound great, built extremely well. Fun tube rolling as well. 
+1 to CJ. What you'll will be fairly old as their resale value is very high but there's a reason for that.

Way too many to list, a lot out there.

 Enjoy the ride!
Proceed, if you can find one.  A Mark Levinson in disguise, without the price tag.  Built like a tank.
