I would recommend placing the requirement of fully differential balanced circuitry at the top of your preamp feature list. Balanced pays dividends with these amps.
pre for Pass xa60.5
Hi all
just got my Pass xa60.5 and i'm looking for a pre upgrade. Currently I drive them with Lector zoe tube pre (which mates my Lector cdp-7). I usually lean towards tube preamps although I'm not fixed on tube.Budget is around $2500 for a preowned unit.
mu current short list is:
First sound presence
Aesthetix calypso
joule electra la-150
or maybe older Pass models on SS.
I have very limited audition options and i usually buy based on reviews and Agon members' opinions - so every opinion counts.
Thanks in advance for each replier.
