Preamp with tone control.

Hello guys,
I need help to choose preamp. I'm building my system now and I will use Pro-Ject Xpression III turn table, Dynaco ST70 tube amp and B&WCM5 speakers. My question is, what kind preamp you can recommend for ST70 tube amp and, also I prefer to have tone control.
Found few preamps:
1. NAD C 165BEE ($899)
2. NAD 114 ($280)
3. AUDIO RESEARCH SP-4 ($550)
May be some one can recommend better choice.
Thanks!

mcintosh and carver have preamps with tone controls.

Also, some of the Van Alstine preamps have bass/treble controls which are defeatable. Used they could be within your price range. Of course, there's always an old Dynaco preamp, which can be had cheaply and fully restored here on Audiogon fairly often.

The Adcom 715 is great for the money...it just is.

Audio by Van Alstine preamps have very transparent tone controls. Their affect is subtle but very useful.
