Pass Labs XP10 vs Modwright LS 36.5 for X250.5

Recently got hold of a Pass Labs X250.5. Looking into replacing my PREAMP... Would like to know if PASS LABS XP10 or MODWRIGHT LS 36.5 would be a better choice ...
Am open to other suggestion of PREAMPS.

Thanks.

I clearly shouldn't post from my phone...

I would look into auditioning both. If there is no local Pass dealer, Reno Hi-Fi is great and they have a solid return policy if the piece of gear doesn't work for you.

As for ModWright. TweekGeek carries these if there is no one local with Modwright. They have an audition and a return policy that would let you try out the gear in your home.

I use Rowland Capri with X250.5. The Capri replaced an ARC LS25II and it's a great combo, and a super bargain especially if you still play LP's.

I would be sure to use a balanced pre. I don't know if Modwright is balanced.
