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?
