Thanks guys for the responses! I'm just getting the itch to add a new preamp to replace my dearly loved Pass X1 that I will be selling after two decades. I have owned that pre amp forever and still really like it but I would like to get something to replace it that is more on par with the XP 30. I absolutely love where my main system is at today. I have been playing with audio gear for 45 years and my current system with the XP30, 33h etc will give me chills and absolutely blow me away with every semi seriously listening session. It will play at rock concert levels with the 33h's in cruise mode and play so beautifully and delicate, warm and full for the 2am ultra quiet listening sessions. The Dynaudio Consequence UE at mid to high listening levels will be a tidal wave of audio bliss and a ridicules wall of sound and late at night at low volume play and disappear like a TAD Me-1 or Dynaudio c1 on a Kondo tube amp. imho
Amps: Levinson 33h, & 436, MC 275, pass xp-30, Pass X1, Sony ta-a1
Sony hap z1 hi res streamer
Speakers, Dynaudio Consequence UE main speakers, Evidence Temptation,C2, C1 part time
Cables Levinson Strings and CZ Gel, Dynaudio ocos speaker cables
I listen to everything except rap, Dave Matthews, older Genesis, Disturbed, Miles Davis, Chet Baker, Diana Krall, Shelby Lynne, Al Di meola, Pink Floyd etc
Part of me is thinking KXR or 2110 I have owned enough audio gear over the last 45 years its shameful, Have never had an Ayre or Boulder product before, Plus Xmas is right around the corner :)
Sorry for rambling
