The ARC preamp work well with Classe, I have even use Cary preamp and drive the Classe CA400 directly with Wadia 16i, since it has a good digital volume control. Classe power is not picky on preamp at all.
It's the "sound" of which preamp you like. I used to be a "true" believer, but I give it up since there will never be 100 "true", and I am not a audio researcher, I really like to enjoy great music, and I need a good system to bring the music to me and please my ear. So I turn into a "beauty" beliver.
If you like to add a preamp into your system, I will suggest tube preamp, because it balance out the SS power amp, and add the warmth, air and image depth into your system.
I found that it the best to your advantage to select a full balanced pream to connect to the Classe with balance XLR cable. (BTW, I don't believe those high price tag cables)
ARC LS5 MKII, LS15, LS16, and Cary SLP2002 all are full balance preamp. look for those preamp on the used market to save some money. ARC LS3 and LS3B are not a full balance design, LS3B only has balance XLR out put.
The most important is which preamp please you ear!
