Pre amp that match to Pass Alep 5


Currently I used Pass Alep 5 driving the Dunlavy IV/A with Alep L Preamp. I consider to buy the new pre amp to match with the Alep 5, which has the balance input. I'm looking for Pass Alep P but unfortunately it's very rare. I noticed that the new Pass X 2.0 and 2.5 are still availble in this web and price very attractive. My question is which one is match to the Alep 5.

Welcome to all comment.

Hi Jeffrey,

May be I misunderstand in something. You said that both X preamp are greater clarity and detail than Aleph P. Did you listen them with Aleph Amp?

Many thanks for all comment and suggestion.

Yes, I have had several Aleph amps:
Aleph 5, Aleph 2 monos, and now Pass/Volksamp Aleph 60 mono amps. The Aleph 60 is essentially an Aleph 2 (100 watts) ,scaled down to 60 watts and with a revised and hand-matched input board. I and the people at Pass agree that it is the best sounding Aleph amp ever made. They are rare and no longer made (though I think Pass could custom make a pair if they were willing--probably very costly). There is sort of a cult status with this amp, buyt others do not know or appreciate what they have and occasionally sell on Audiogon at very reasonable prices.

I will repeat, as regards the Pass preamps, that the Aleph P Remote (do not get the non-remote version), the X2.5 and they X1 are all superb preamps and all make very nice music through my Aleph 60s into my Quad 989s. That might give you some idea of my listeing preferences, as pertains to equipment.

Good luck,
Jeffrey
