Cheap and cheerful tube preamp suggestions?

Posted by michaelhigh on June 10, 2012 at 07:19:43:

I have a Decware Zen Triode Select from 2003 (3 1/2 - 4 watts total), and I'm looking for a synergistic match in terms of a tube preamp. Currently I'm using a Pioneer SX-838 as a preamp, but in that capacity it's being grossly underutilized. The Decware could, ostensibly, be used without one, but I'd like a tad bit more volume and a balance control is necessary, at least until I get my ears cleaned again. Any suggestions?
