Pre-Amp for Parasound JC-1

Just ordered a pair of JC-1's and need a recommendation for a tube pre-amp . Particularly interested in performance differences between balanced and single ended operation.

These will be driving Wilson WP7 via Transparent Reference XL-SS. Source consists of AN CDT2 and Zanden 5000 Mk. III
Interconnects will also be Transparent Ref. XL-V.

If balanced operation is the way to go, it seriously limits the number of candidates. Thoughts/suggestions please.

Geez- I was considering the JC-1's for the 2-ch tube pre rig, but with all these preamp matching issues, now I'm not so sure...

OK, plan B- how are these JC-1's in a SS processor-based home theater system? I would be curious how 5 of them would compare to my previous amp (Theta Dreadnaught) on that lind of system...
