I sold THIEL's for many years, Threshold Amps then, which were Nelson's first company, I believe.
I really liked using a tube preamp with solid state amps--to give a rounder sound, smoother upper midrange to the solid state of the Threshold.
The Pass is much more refined than the Threshold--but still, IMHO can benefit from a really good tube preamp--depending on one's taste, certainly.
Without checking for a mismatch of impedences, you may consider a cj pre, or a VAC pre with this combination.
Good luck and good listening.
