Pass XP-32 vs. Luxman C-900u?


Thoughts on the above preamps?

My vote is for the Luxman. Just pop the hood and see inside how it’s made.

Pass is very great gear also, very well made, but never has been a preamp master builder . It is known for it’s class A amplifier history.

Luxman has a lot more years behind it’s back , since 1935 I believe...
Thank you. I had an XP-30 years ago and wasn’t too crazy about it. The XP32 should be a lot better. 
I know the C-900u is pretty wonderful.
@joeinid I have heard the c900u and was seriously considering it. I decided to go another way and got the Benchmark HPA4 preamp to "eliminate" the preamp from my system. It is so quiet that it really is like having no preamp. You may want to consider that one on a home trial.

Yesterday, I bought a second preamp that I think is similar sounding and maybe better than the c900u. It is the CODA 07x preamp. I will be using both preamps. The CODA is cheaper than the c900u.

The Luxman m900u though is one that I would still like to get to use with the 2 preamps I will have.
