Aesthetic Calypso or CJ Et3 or Primaluna Dialogue 3

Which one of the tube preamps would you mate to a Pass Labs xa30.5 and why?

Used or New option for purchase

I looking for a detailed sound, detailed wide soundstage, and a sweet high end for a 80's rock junky

Any opinion appreciated

Into a 10 K pass amp would be Foolish.

I would strongly suggest you stay out of the advice Giving department for a while.
  Glad your having fun mindlessly recommending though.
