Pass Labs XP32 or XP22?

Admittedly, my comment above might have been the slightest of plugs for Aric and his gear. But my personal advice to pair Pass Class A amps with a well curated tube preamp, was my intended point. Don't make the mistake that I did in assuming that the symmetry of pairing a Pass amp(s) with a Pass preamp is the best path to sonic nirvana. You should call Aric, however...

Possibly of interest.

When moving up the preamp chain from XP12 I was between XP22 and ARC Ref 5 SE to pair with my Pass XA30.8. Ended up with the XP22 despite being close to pulling the trigger on a Ref 5SE. I just didn’t want tubes anymore right now (had enough with the Rogue tubed preamps and amp I owned for almost 2 years).
Anyway, really like the XP22. It’s quiet, detailed and natural sounding. Compliments the XA well.

I can also vouch for the ARC preamp pairing with the Pass amplification. I ran several ARC preamps into an X250.5 amp and it was stellar. It sounded amazing despite the tube rush ( ARC LS25 and Ref1). 

Listen not to the nay sayers you can`t go wrong with Pass.  The XP 22 is know comparison to the XP32. I`ve been using the Xp30 for quite some time along with the X350 Power amp. Hopefully you`ll pair your amp and preamp the Pass synergy is outstanding.  Blessing on your musical journey.

I have a 32, my friend has a 22.  The 32 is a bit more dynamic and has a lower noise floor IMHO.  Don't get me wrong, both are great but when we did some A/B, we both felt the 32 was a bit more engaging.  If you have the $$$, go with the 32.
