What pre are you using for your Pass X.5?


Pass amps have a great reputation, but it seems that a lot of folks who have them don't use corresponding Pass pre-amps. I'm curious to know what pre's people are using with their X.5 amps, tubes vs SS, and if anyone could talk a bit about the Pass pre's.

Thanks!

I used a 2.5 with my 250.5---it really wasn't my cup of tea, but my problem with Pass if you are limited with preamplifier choice due to the impedance (most tube preamps will not work).

I believe something like the Cary SLP-05 should work with Pass as I recall. I have heard the new XP line is considerably better than the older preamplifier line. Also, the remote on the old version to be put simply, is terrible to use.
