Preamp for Pass

Pierre,

What do you want out of your preamp? What isn't the ARC giving you? Any musical genres you prefer.

From the low midrange and down, it is just fine. but i`m missing some extenctions in the top.....

i'm in the same mode, more or less, though not looking so far up the food chain as the Canary . . . any thoughts on the modwright 9.0 se vs. the pass labs X-2.5 matched with a pass amp product (something like the first watt F-4, for instance)?

only negative i've seen w/regard to the 2.5 is mildly hissy . . . natural inclination to stay within brand, all being equal, but the modwright seems really strong.

i am not in a situation where any real auditioning is feasible.

thanks,
doug

Which pass is it? I would think the modwright would be a sideways move.
I owned the modwright with a pass x150. I enjoyEd

I owned the modwright with a pass x150. I enjoyed the combo. Using a supratek preamp with it now. Warmer sounding. Modwright is an excellent preamp but so is your ARC preamp. I'd try other interconnects / power cords before you change preamps.
