Any suggestion of preamp for Pass' pwr amp X.5

thank you Ptss!

Spectral.

thank you Response34's and Rtilden's advice!

--------------------------

Any more "solid state" preamps that you brothers would suggest me to match Pass' X.5 power amp?

thanks

Big +1 on the Purity. I predict you will be a 'believer' once in your system. Research or experience the sonics, quality and personal touch of the company leadership, and I think you will see. Impedance matching extremely favorable for SS amps. I have a CODA 15.5 with my Purity preamp, and the match is sublime.

You might want to check out the Purity Audio Design preamps. Lots of options in their range and have everything you are looking for and within the budget mentioned.

Reply Ozzy and Don_c55:

I just want to know if there is anything better than XP-30 within this price range.

thank you !

In addition... I don't know about he SST Ambrosia, but I do know that the Coda, has adjustable gain, individually on each input.

Why not the Pass Preamp?

The XP-30 is $16K, under your budget, and most likely the best match if you can put up with three boxes.

Why do you disregard it?

SST Ambrosia
Coda 07x
Both would do a great job
I hope this helps,

How about this one Olympia LXi
