You prompted me to check. There are 8 preamps in their recommended components list that were reviewed in the last two years, including two Pass models. Given that the trend these days seems to be to eschew preamps in favor of integrated amps, all-in-ones, or digital sources direct to amps, this doesn’t seem unreasonable to me.
