tube pre-amp for active monitors


I have Airpulse Model 1(A200) active monitors currently fed by MacBook Pro > Tidal > Wyred4Sound Re-Clocker > SMSL SU8 > balanced XLR out. I wonder if a tube preamp might yield some gains.... anything not-expensive that might fit the bill? Looking for a bit more enveloping soundstage....

If you want a tube preamp for that kind of money you are probably looking at something used and vintage.
Could be. And there are balanced tube preamps available too.

What is your budget and do you need a phono section?
