Tube preamp for pass labs ?


I recently bought a brand new Pass Labs x250.8. It seems to be finally broke in after about 800 hours. I’m using a good preamp, the BAT VK-33se. I’m curious what other tube preamps others are using with this amp? 
one thing I did was bought inexpensive Wireworld stratus power cables on Sale for $116 shipped brand new for amp, preamp, dac, and server. They seem to have helped settle my system down quite a bit. I really like these inexpensive cords. 
but, again what tube preamps are you owners of the 250.8 using?

TIA for any info given.

Audio Research tube preamps pair well with Pass amps. Depends on your budget. 

Audio Research for sure. I have run an ARC with Pass amps for decades, until a few years ago when I switched to Audio Research amps.

The BAT is excellent….. i would look elsewhere in the system for improvement….
