Pre amp that match to Pass Alep 5


Currently I used Pass Alep 5 driving the Dunlavy IV/A with Alep L Preamp. I consider to buy the new pre amp to match with the Alep 5, which has the balance input. I'm looking for Pass Alep P but unfortunately it's very rare. I noticed that the new Pass X 2.0 and 2.5 are still availble in this web and price very attractive. My question is which one is match to the Alep 5.

Welcome to all comment.

Hi, I tried to match my Aleph 3 with the X2 and had terrible Hum problems. I and the dealer tried everything to get rid of it, to no avail. I tried the X2 with the Aleph 5 too, briefly, same result. I now use my Aleph 3 with a CJ Premier 17 valve pre. Not balanced I know, but simply wonderful, wide fatigue free soundstage, dynamic, detailed. The Aleph comes up quite often over here in the UK, but the dollar exchange rate and postage would make a purchase prohibitive
