Agree with @jjss49 depends totally on what sound characteristics you’re looking for and how they match with your amp. What pre are you using now? I wouldn’t even consider purchasing a preamp until you’ve heard the amp in your system and identify more concretely what you want in a preamp. Just my $0.02 FWIW.
Which preamp to go with pass labs x150.8
Hi all,
I am getting Pass Labs X150.8. I am considering following preamps:
Simaudio Moon P740
Ayre KX-5 Twenty
Audio Research LS28SE
Pass Labs X12
Which preamp would sound the best with the amp?
Thanks for your input.

@runwell "I do not suggest a tube preamp with any SS amplifier,as it is not a good match." Have you had a tube pre and SS amp in your system; if so what were the components. I have a Modwright LS100 tube pre and KWA100SE solid state power amp in my main system, sounds just fine.

@runwell clearly has no idea what the hell he’s talking about. |
@jerryg123 Yes! There are a lot on the market, you just choose it. However, I do not say we can not make that combo and listen. I am asking the best sound you can get from the system, which definitely not Tube pre +SS power. simply tell me,which TOP TOP hifi syetem is in that combo = Tube pre +SS power. It is just the trade off. and I just do not want that trade off in hifi system.
@facten As I said above,it is good or best. It could be good. Never be best in that combo. By the way, yes,I have that combo many many years ago,and I just ditch it.
@soix When you have no idea,and you are that thinking of others,right?
@ghdprentice Just want to know "HOW" that flat out?
