Preamp Advice for my System


I am considering changing the preamp in my system. I have a BAT-42KSE and have started to look for something different. How would you compare a Pass X1, Bryston BP-26, or Classe CP-800 to the BAT?  How are those 3 different from each other. The BAT sounds a little laid back to my ears.

Your amplifier has a balanced input.
The BAT is a tube unit- the others are not- do you have a preference in that regard?
FWIW as far as I can tell, the BAT does not support the balanced standard. There are tube preamps that do.
