Anyone running a tube preamp with a Pass XA25?

@geof3 -- i don’t have your pass but i can vouch for the wonderful et5... it is a keeper for me

that been said, don't the current pass amps like balanced in better? maybe an audio research ref 3 or 5? they are wonderful too...

The XA25 is single ended...

I have for the last year been using a LTA MZ2 and it sounds superb. I have coming a Supratek DHT/6SN7 to replace the MZ2. The XA25 to my ears sounds even more magical with a DHT pre. of course it`s my personal opinion.

Looks like I’m gonna give a Rogue Audio RP5 a go for round one here. I can source one locally, plus it has a phono stage, which is interesting to me. See if the phono stage can come anywhere close to my Herron.  I should have it in the next day or two. Keep the recommendations coming!

I asked a similar question.  Recommendations i got and researched.  Tubes4hifi, Don Sachs,  Supratek, Modwright, Schiit, Aric.  Still thinking....
