Used McIntosh C2600 or a used Audio Research would be the way I would go.
Had a Pass XP22, it was excellent. But I prefer my C2700 with the built in DAC. Slightly larger soundstage, and the tubes add just that special something.
Note, used it with both my Pass 250.8 and MC462.
While the amps were different, I noticed more of a difference between the pre-amps.
