It may seem like an anathema, but has anyone tried pairing one of these with a passive line stage?
You should note that the MF buffer has only unbalanced inputs/output and may be an issue if you are using balanced connections with the BAT preamp. I use the buffer between my Arcam CD23 and Placette active line stage (using VD Nite interconnects) and it sweetens the midrange a bit. Also makes the sound a bit easier to listen to...less digital. Music Direct has a good return policy and I believe that unit is on sale right now.
Given the level of your electronics, I personally would not want to run the risk of mucking it up with the (relatively) cheap (esp used) tube buffer. I'd think about selling the preamp and buying a tube one same brand/same price range.
