Which preamp to go with pass labs x150.8

@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.  

Yeah, “I do not suggest a tube preamp with any SS amplifier,as it is not a good match.” That is probably well intended, but just flat out wrong. 

@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?

@runwell  what is a top hifi system, if you are talking about systems at hifi shows of course you won't see that combo, most of the top amp manufacturers make their own preamps, so they are going to stick to the topology they know best, even if a tube preamp with solid state amp would sound better they aren't going to admit it or use it instead of their own design.
