What tube pre-amps pair well with Pass amps?


Does anyone have experience with this?  I'm running Focal Sopra No. 2s and I understand the Focal's pair nicely with Pass amps.  Any tube pre-amps you'd recommend for consideration? I like the classical rock, but am gravitating more to jazz, classical and vocals. I just want to try something new.  Thanks.

I've often wondered about this, for different reasons like the allure of tubes etc.

I'm run the Pass Labs XP-22, XP-17 and the XA60.6s with an analog front-end only. I recently put in a distributed bass array and altogether I'm blown away and quite happy. Yet...

Curiousity and interest got the best of me and I reached out to Pass. Here was their recommendation for tube pres: Atma-sphere, BAT, Conrad-Johnson.

I'd like to know what the OP decided to do. And any other continuing thougths.
