I've never been too impressed with Pass preamps. I've owned both their amps and preamps, and like the amps much better. I would look at: Ayre, BAT, Aesthetix and maybe Audio Research.
Preamp suggestions for Pass Labs XA100.5
Could I solicit opinions on preamplifiers that mate well with Pass Labs XA100.5 monoblocks. I would like to use balanced connection. I know that Pass labs preamplifiers are a safe bet but I am open to other brands that may offer terrific synergy with the Pass Labs Class A amps. Would appreciate opinions from anyone with personal experience with the pairing.
Thank you!
Thank you!
