Preamp for Pass

I have a ARC LS26 preamp, but thinking about trying something else, but still a tube preamp.

I have tryed the DIY Tram II witch was fitted with duelund compoens and others opgrades. that sounded great from the midrange and up, but lacked some in the bass, compared to my LS26.

So witch tube preamps are great with Pass?

Try the Canary CA900. My friend is using one of them with a set of XA 160.5 Mono Blocks with great results. I believe he has a source of getting those pre-amplifiers. He is here on audiogon under the username Truesoundworks,

Pierre,

What do you want out of your preamp? What isn't the ARC giving you? Any musical genres you prefer.

i'm in the same mode, more or less, though not looking so far up the food chain as the Canary . . . any thoughts on the modwright 9.0 se vs. the pass labs X-2.5 matched with a pass amp product (something like the first watt F-4, for instance)?

only negative i've seen w/regard to the 2.5 is mildly hissy . . . natural inclination to stay within brand, all being equal, but the modwright seems really strong.

i am not in a situation where any real auditioning is feasible.

thanks,
doug

Which pass is it? I would think the modwright would be a sideways move.
I owned the modwright with a pass x150. I enjoyEd
