Pass Labs XP-10 & XP-20 preamps

Huh! My Pass Labs X1 is already getting old replaced by this X20?

The X 0.2 was first introduced in 2001. The X-1 was first introduced in 1999. The X 2.5 was first introduced in 2001. The X 0.2, X-1 and X 2.5 have not been discontinued. Stan

>>My Pass Labs X1 is already getting old<<

It is almost 10 years old.

That is an eternity in high end audio.

Dealer disclaimer

Mine is 2 years old .. Audiofeil .. but apart this it doesn't sound like a legacy preamplifier

My eternity remark was tongue in cheek as many manufacturers introduce new products yearly despite any significant improvements. Case in point, many cable companies feel a need to introduce new models almost monthly despite infinitesimal (if any) changes.

Although you've had your preamp for 2 years, the model itself is almost 10 years old.

You're right though; it is not a legacy component.

But very few are.
