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 had the Evo mated to an Audio Research LS15 and it didn't do it for me, but with the new CJ PFR pre amp I find the sound alive and involving and basically breath taking. This combo may not be for everyone as it is a little bright for some, but the detail and transparency are amazing!
