Which preamp for a pass labs?


I bought a Pass Labs xa 30.5 and now I have to choose between a Pass Labs XP 10 preamp or an Audio Research ls 25 MK2. Which one would you choose? Which balanced cables do you recommend to connect pre and final?
Thank you

I would suggest Pass  either an xp10 or 20 would be a perfect match. As for cables I am using these and they are excellent regardless of price.

Neither?

Sorry, I find the entire current Pass line as way too flat and colorless. If you are going with an amp, I might strongly encourage you to look elsewhere for a pre, unless you were a big fan of the old AR house sound, in which case Pass or old AR makes sense.

Nothing wrong with an XP10, but I've compared it with others and found it expensive for what it is.  I also like the LS25 MkII,  In Solid State you might look at a T+A Elektroakustik,  used they will fall in the price range of the others.
