Best Line Stage Preamp?

I just brought a KR Antares with 842VHD Amp, but do not know which preamp will match the KR, tube or soild state, I listen mostly classical music, thanks.

It uses a pair of 6922s, and has seen off a couple of good SS units and a transformer-based passive in my system. It's not crazy money, either. If you've got bux, think about the CTC Blowtorch.

I can say that I love my CAT Ultimate and prefer it to some preamps I have owned in the past, including: Audible Illusions 3A, McCormack Passive (TL1?), and several ARC preamps I have used in the past. You need to make auditions with CAT on your must listen list.
