Tube Pre to mate with Parasound JC-1s & Maggies?


I know variations of this question get asked here endlessly but this is a fairly specific variation & I have relatively limited experience with tubed gear so really do need advice (i.e. this isn't an idle "what's best" post)

I am looking for a quality Tube PreAmp (preferably w/- phonostage but that's not a must) that would match well with a pair of Parasound JC-1 Monoblocks feeding into a pair of modded Magnepan 3.6s. I would be comfortable paying around $2000 used.

Many thanks for the great input so far - you've given me some good places to begin my research. As I wrote, I am relatively unexperienced with tube gear but was surprised to see no one has suggested a Shindo Aurieges ..?
Again, many thanks for the helpful input given above. I have questions about two tube preamps not so far mentioned - the Aesthetix Calypso & the Mysteré ca 21. Can anyone give input about how either might fit into my set up? Thanks!
