Preamp for Pass Labs X-150.8


Looking for a good preamp to match with the Pass X-150.8 amp. Prefer new in the $2500-$4000 range, but will consider used in this range as well. More interested in tubes than SS. With or without a phono pre, as I already have a decent one but if a built-in is good can go that route as well.  Speakers are ATC SCM 19.

The new Rogues, Audible Illusions and Backert interest me. Would like to hear from owners of these units, but what else is out there?

I am running an Ayon Eris with my Pass X150.8.  It is prob out of your range a new, but if you can get one used it is a match made in heaven.  Actually I think any decent pre based on 6H30 tubes would be good - I think ARC may use those.  I have not heard the new Rogue pre-amps but if their power amps are anything to go by they have to be good too.
