preamp choice: pass labs, PCA-2, or??


I have a PS Audio HCA-2 powering some Martin Logan Aeons, now i'm looking for a new preamp, budget around $2000-2500. I'm considering the PS Audio PCA-2 (I figure it'll be a nice no-brainer synergistic pair) or used Pass Labs x2.5. I'm thinking SS, not ready to jump into tubes yet. (though i've looked into the eeaudio minimax, manley shrimp, and supratek stuff.) and I'm pretty sure I need a remote for volume. I need about 4-5+ inputs. thoughts, other suggestions?

thanks

I have a Pass Labs X2.5. Excellent sonic performance via the XLR connections. I've not tried the single-ended. Though, I think the user interface is pretty crude.

-IMO
