Tubed preamp with Krell KSA 150 amp?

I am planning on selling my Audio Research LS3b (ss) pre and trying a tubed pre, possibly a BAT, Aesthetix,modwright, etc.
Any input would be appreciated...I have heard/read that some of the Krell amps need to be tweaked (dc?) to be compatible with a tubed pre.
Thanks,

I would go for a CJ tube pre. There very lush and warm compared to AR...

An ARC REF3 will sound spectacular with your Krell amp. That is what I'm running now.

Thanks for the above input all...
I was hoping that someone has some direct experience with using tubes with the Krell, as I wrote in my previous post, I understand that there might be a compatibility issue.
