Tube preamp for Pass Labs amp

I am considering changing around my system and I am interested in knowing what (tube) preamps would be a good match to Pass Amps. Any suggestions? Less than $3000 would be nice new or used.

I use the Calypso with NOS tubes also, with my Pass Lab XA 30.5, works very well. I'm sure there are many preamps what would also work very well.

Check out the great Michael Fremer review in Stereophile. There are other nice reviews of this around the web too.
