Exploring Preamp options for the Pass XA25

Please feel free to share preamp options for the XA25. I presently have an Acoustic Research LS-3 and am not sure this is the perfect combination. The Pass Headphone preamp is one option that I'm considering. Tube preamps?

OK- I had to look that one up. With a 47K input impedance a large number of single-ended tube preamps will drive that with no worries. You already have some excellent suggestions in this thread. Do you need a phono section?

The Pass Labs are balanced. If you really want to take advantage of what it does (its distortion will be lower if provided with a balanced source), a balanced preamp is the better choice. What sort of budget do you have?
