Pre-amp suggestions for Thiel 2.4/Pass Labs XA30.5

Looking to get a pre-amp to mate with my Thiel 2.4s and the Pass Labs XA-30.5. I've got about at $2500 limit and need a phono section (or need to to pick up a MM phono stage in addition... but still stay under the $2500 limit). I'm currently using a Classe CAP-151's pre-amp section, but it seems that it's getting outclassed a bit by the new additions. Any suggestions? I'm open to both tube and SS options.

"some successful preamp pairing suggestions would still be useful."

I see your thread has splintered in many ways. I'm shocked :-).

I have the 30.5 and 100.5's and paired them with Conrad Johnson tube preamps (ART and ACT 2.2). I am very happy with the sound. Of their preamps I'd recommend at least the 16 or 17 or you may find another brand that suits you better. Good luck.
