Aragon 8008-BB...what balanced preamplifier to use


A friend bought one of this amplifier and all his system is balanced with the exception of the preamplifier. He ask me for help but I'm not sure what to reccomend. His budget is limited to not more than $1K and is willing to buy used (AudioGon for sure). So, what brands and models are you considering worth to look for?

Gracias to everyone.

Jose.

Gracias: Rogue and Bat has great reputation and I think some tubes in the route will do good to his system. The Aragon is SS with solid power. He found and ad for a Sonic Frontiers and I told him it uses tubes too. Since my friend is not a vynil guy , he can live without a phono section, which add some cost to the preamplifier. I will show him this post.

Thanks for your opinion.
Nrchy:
What other preamplifiers you tried before deciding for the Krell? Do you just like the solid state sound over the tubes?

Gracias for sharing your experience and opinion.
