Exploring Preamp options for the Pass XA25

Please feel free to share preamp options for the XA25. I presently have an Acoustic Research LS-3 and am not sure this is the perfect combination. The Pass Headphone preamp is one option that I'm considering. Tube preamps?

What speakers are you using with that combo?

currently. OHM Walsh 5000's...

Also have had DynAudio Contour 60's, Klipsch Epic CF-4's hooked up for long test runs.  For kicks I had some old OHM Pro-200's hooked up (sounded suprisingly good).

At a friends house I've heard Salk SS12's hooked up to the XP12 and X 150.8

dep 14.. the first thing is a remote control. I thought when I bought the Audio Research LS3 that I could do without a volume control.. nah. Presently I have Zu Omen.

I mentioned this in your other thread but maybe check out the Truth preamp from Ed Schillings. It can come with remote and is compatible with just about any source and can drive anything. I have a preamp with unity gain but no remote so I'm considering getting a Truth myself to go with my Pass Aleph J.
More to discover
