Pre with phono to mate with Nuforce?

I looked at the NuForce amps last year and had thought of matching them up with a Quad 99 preamp that I had.

The Quad has a decent phono stage and the tilt tone control is a nice feature. Over all I thought for the price it was a very good sounding unit.

Ive used an Ear 834p it has tubes which can be a good option for a more relaxed sound with Nuforce amps.

Thanks for your suggestions. When looking around my area (Minneapolis) I came across someone selling a VTL 2.5 preamp. I'm really thinking a tubed pre, to tame the brightness of the Nuforces. Any opinions on the VTL...or other tubed preamps w/ a built in phono I should entertain?
