Tube Preamps with Bass?


I love what a tube preamp does for the mids and soundstage in my system but I hear the loss of bass slam, weight and dynamics. I was looking at the Blue Circle G-3, Lamm LL2, CJ LS-17, First Sound Presence Deluxe, Joule Elextra.

Any opinions on these preamps or any others in the $5K or so price range mated to the Pass X-250 power amp and producing the added bass slam, weight and dynamics?

Thanks and Happy Listening.

It's gonna be hard finding one to audition but you should try a Supratek. Your search will be over.
I use the First Sound with a Pass 150. There is a slight impedance mismatch between these two components, which may limit bass performance a little, though I can not be sure of that. But I do get excellent bass and I think the First Sound in general is a superb preamp for bass. Superb.
I 2nd Lugnut's response. I use my supratek with an Air-Tight ATM-2 tube amp - I get all the bass response I'll ever need. Alternatively, you could give HOVLAND a try.
