I have a Lex 12B. When I moved into my now house 5 years ago my 2 ch source was a Wadia 860. I tried using the dacs/pre function from the 12B but the Wadia was clearly better. The Wadia drove Pass Aleph 2s.
Got back into LPs a couple years ago and now use an AR Ref 2MkII. If you are looking for the best 2 chanel performance you have to get a good 2 ch preamp IMO. No doubt in my mind, the Pass pre/s would be a clear step up for 2 ch.
