Which preamp for a pass labs?


I bought a Pass Labs xa 30.5 and now I have to choose between a Pass Labs XP 10 preamp or an Audio Research ls 25 MK2. Which one would you choose? Which balanced cables do you recommend to connect pre and final?
Thank you

Neither?

Conrad Johnson.

Sorry, I find the entire current Pass line as way too flat and colorless. If you are going with an amp, I might strongly encourage you to look elsewhere for a pre, unless you were a big fan of the old AR house sound, in which case Pass or old AR makes sense.

Best,
