Preamp HELP!!! for Pass Aleph 3

I use a Rogue Audio 99 with phono stuffed full of Telefunkens.With my Aleph-3 I get a monster of a soundstage,deep,tight bass and pristine highs.The mids are very tonally pure.My only problem is some slight upper mid forwardness.I think that will be corrected with better speaker cables which I am working on now.Some Kimber 8TC on loan have helped a bit but not enough.Next up Harmonic Technology Pro-11's

I was pleased with the sound of the Pass 3 used with the Audible Illusions 3A. I'd still be listening to that pair if I did not currently have speakers that require more power.

First of all, lose the cheap power cables that Pass sends with thier amps! Second, lose the Bat preamp,Tubes with this amp don't work. Get the Pass X1.Get a good phono preamp. Stick with the Sony Sacd-1, nothing touches it!

P.S I had the BAT5 preamp thinking that i might like it better then my Classe six. The Classe blew it away, and it is also full function! Got rid of the Bat, kept the Classe. I have since been using the Pass X1, now this preamp is in a league of it's own. I have had the Classe for years, iam now trying to sell it. If you need more details you can feel free to e- mail me.

As far as a tube preamp "not working" with a aleph-3 thats incorrect.My 99 mates very well with it.Maybe yours didnt but to say "tubes dont work" is silly.Second,if you read the reviews you will see many tried using different power cords with the Aleph-3 and none that I read found one that worked better than the one Pass supplies and some degraded the sound.The cords are made for the high current.USE THEM and DONT THINK "TUBES DONT WORK!"
