Preamp Advice Needed - Gryphon Amp - Currently ARC Ref5se


Hello
I am currently running an ARC Ref5se (which i had enjoyed with various ARC Ref amps).

I now have a Gryphon Antileon Signature amp.
In comparison find the set-up a little dark or rolled off in the highs.
I tried a PASS X2.5 in place of the Ref5se and the top end opened up.

Does anyone know of other pres which might match or surpass Ref5se qualities but help the Gryphon top end open up a little? SS or Tube.

Any thoughts would be very much appreciated.

@philipwu I like the sound you are describing of the Backert Labs, although it doesnt seem to have balanced outputs.

@rob67  
actually backert labs preamps do have balance in and outs, check out their website  : )  i am using XLR connections right now..
@philipwu  Good for you!  The Backerts are the finest of gentlemen.  I would bet, based on how great my extensively modified cj line stage sounds, that their proprietary gear must be really something!🎼
