Good preamp for Bel Canto EVo 200.2?


I got this amp last week through Audiogon contact. Now I need a decent preamp. A lot of what I have read says that preamp is maybe more important than the amp. Soundstage had good luck with a tube (Gill) pre. Cary is made across town. Would their new balanced pre be a good way to start? How about BC PRe1? Any other suggestions?

I saw the new Cary today. I doesn't look like the other Cary preamps because it's an enclosed box, no exposed tubes. It's a real balanced pre with only 4 tubes. It does have a tube headphone stage. For those that HT, it does have HT pass through like VAC. The remote is included , and is simple volume and mute only. I'm sold and haven't heard it . I'm gonna order the first of Nov so I have it for Christmas.
