Congratulations on your 501's! I use a CJ premier 14 with NOS hitachi and mullard tubes. The authority and smooth presentation of the 501's mate very nice with the musicality of the CJ preamp, especially with my Theils. Magical midrange and texture.
I have had this preamp for several years, its the only one I have run with the Mac's. Good luck in your search - great amps!
