Preamp to pair with X250.5

Atmasphere,

Good input.... I was recommended CAT SL1... But it doesn't have balanced.. Any recommendations?

Well of course we make tube preamps that are balanced and we have been doing it longer than anyone else, having introduced the first balanced preamps made anywhere, back in 1989.

But if not our own the Calypso is one I would consider. Some of the newer ARC line stages are doing OK too, IMO starting with the Ref 3.

Hi atmasphere,

Which preamp of atmasphere do u recommend?

Calypso ... The standard or signature ?

Thank you

Hi Atmasphere,

Would you recommend Modwright 36.5 ? With or without power supply? And how about Coincident Linestage Preamp?

Thanks

I tell you from experience the PASS Preamp matches best with PASS amps. I tried a Audio research tube and was not happy
