Which preamp is good for mcintosh mc275?


I am sure this question has been asked before, just want get more suggestions here... I have a mc275 and a Silverline Sonata. I like the music a bit tubey (not too tubey because I don't like slow sounding systems). I listen to mostly vocal and jazz. I have a few choice right now, and I don't know if it is right for me... More inputs is needed from you guys.

I like the following:

A. McIntosh C220
B. Sonic Frontiers Line 3
C. Pass X1
D. Modwright 9.0SE

Please pick one that you think it will produce the nicest sound, or simply suggest your ideas. Thanks so much!

Have a Mac 275 with a Modwright 9.0SE with cap upgrades and a Mullard 5ar4 rectifier tube.
They drive a pair of Reference 3A Grande Veenas.
Extremely satisfied, could be the end of the road.
