Good Matching Preamp with Pass Labs X350

I am using Sphnix Project 8 preamp with Pass Labs X350 power amp, but miss the warm and harmonically rich sound generated by my previous tube gear. I am thinking of replacing the preamp with a tube preamp. Any suggestion that can bring back the previous lovely sound? Audio Note M3, Conrad Johnson LS17? Or any others? I am afraid of Hovalnd HP100, which looks marvellous but the some 23-steps volumne control gives too little flexibility. Thanks.

Overhang, thanks a million for that advice. I'll demo the 2 together before I buy it, that's for sure!
I'm real happy with my MF A308cr so I'm in no hurry.

I love my Pass Labs X1 preamp. I'm using it with my MF A308cr but may be replacing the MF with a Pass X250 soon. It's not a tube pre, but you'd have that "synergy" thing goin', matted with your X350.
