Hi Chrissain,
thanks, the question is actually regarding my son's system. So it makes sense for me to mention, I am a PASS owner (X 350.5) and I like it, apart from the heat it generates in summer time --- these PASS babies are cooking (can hardly touch it then) in summer, that is.
back to your suggestion. It is ALL solid-state, and good SS at that ---- BUT e.g. with PASS, they all have to my knowledge anyway, a rather lowish input impedance due to their PASS design. I mentioned a tube Pre (EAR 864) so now we'd have a not so good match here, since a tube is to so happy operating into 'only' 12 - 20k ohms, right?
So my thought was something very clean, SS, but with more like 100k ohm input impedance. So go mention even ML 332;3;4;5;6 apart from availability I'm not sure it will to good a match sonically. Therefore my enquiry, once you have bought it's not easy to change with out spending more 'fools money'.
Many thanks,
Axel
