golden tube & k-horns

i just bought a nib golden tube se40 special edition that i plan to pair with my k-horns, preamp will be a mcintosh c-38 until i decide on what tube preamp to get but im sure i dont want a mcintosh preamp, i allready have a ton of mac gear.

i want to start a 2nd system built around the k-horns & golden tube amp & want all the gear to be tube gear & want to stay at 1,000$ or less for a used preamp.

any suggestions on a pre that will not only match well with the sound of the golden tube but i want the looks to be a match also, i prefer preamps where the tubes can be seen & not hidden inside a case.

i allready have a cary tube dac that i plan to put into the system as well.

wouldnt mind suggestions on a tube cdp staying around the 1,000$ price range.

thanks, tube newbee.
