SS preamp with Pass XA 60.5 amps


Hi

I'm a long time tube pre guy and willing to give it a shot with a SS pre. Budget up to $4k. I heard not such great things on Pass preamps such as xp-10 and previous models.
How is the match with Ayre k-1xe ? Any other ideas.
Thanks in advance to all repliers.

Bryston's BP26 was well reviewed. Simple circuit with very few do-dads. Basically a selector, volume, and balance. If I recall it was in the $2500 - 3000 range. No blalanced ins or outs, if that's important to you.
Sorry, I think I meant the BP6. The BP26 does have balance inputs and outputs. Either way, both great units.
The xp 10 is great and the xp20 even better and 30 amazing. Contact mark at Reno hifi
I'm curious, why would a long time tube guy want to go to SS? Personally, I don't think you will be satisfied, but you're welcome to play.
