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?

20kohm input impedance is the minimum recommended amp load according ARC.

Should be fine - the XLR input impedance of the XA30.5 is 30kohm (the RCA however is 15kohm and that might be pushing it, don't know without trying it, sometimes listening overrides theory).

Pubul57,

You're correct as I misread the spec sheet on the site I found.

I did forget to mention, that the Joule LA150 Special Edition sounded absolutely wonderful with the XA30.5 --- though single ended (no XLR which may be a non starter for some).
