PASS LABS XP20 or MODWRIGHT LS 36.5 DM

Hi there everyone. I am new to Agon and a new audiophile as well.

I am using modwright LS 36.5 Dual Mono Preamp w separate power supply with pass labs xa 100 monoblocks driving my dynaudio temptation w transparent ultra / cardas GR cables.

I am considering the pass labs xp20 preamp due to its accuracy , detail , speed and resolution based on reviews. I also like the warm tube texture of my MW. I havent tried the xp20 coz pass labs products are by order to my country.

This may not be an upgrade based on price but im expecting a good synergy for the pass xp20 to my xa 100.

Is it worth it ? Has anyone have tried these two preamp w d pass xa 100 ?

Thank you very much in advance to your thoughts and comments for this.

Peterayer ,

Yes , i am using pass xa 100.5 monobloc class A 100 watts and i have the instinct of going to pass xp20 preamp for the synergy but not yet xp30 coz of funding concern.

Im afraid that i will miss out the tube sound texture of MW LS 36.5 DM over the xp20.Which one do you think between the xp20 or xp30 sounds like tube preamp.

My sincere thanks for all of your replies to my thread.

I was just thinking if i will get the Pass XP30 it might end all worries
that i have in mind between the XP20 & my MW LS 36.5 DM.

I expect that it will be the sure winner without shootouts.
