I have a Pass Labs XA30.5 mated with a Bruce Moore Audio Companion III tubed linestage preamplifier. It's a great match in that the Companion III get's out of the way of the XA30.5 while adding that bit of dimensionality that a good tubed linestage cn offer. I previously had a First Watt F5 paired with a Bruce Moore Audio Companion IIe tubed preamplifier with excellent results. To me the Pass Labs XA30.5/Buce Moore Companion III pairing is a big step up.
Preamp suggestions for Pass Labs XA100.5
Could I solicit opinions on preamplifiers that mate well with Pass Labs XA100.5 monoblocks. I would like to use balanced connection. I know that Pass labs preamplifiers are a safe bet but I am open to other brands that may offer terrific synergy with the Pass Labs Class A amps. Would appreciate opinions from anyone with personal experience with the pairing.
Thank you!
Thank you!
