Pass Labs XP-10 & XP-20 preamps

>>Sorry folks, but the Fire preamp I am using in my system was the Clear winner.<<

Nothing to be sorry about; it's what you prefer but not what others may find more pleasing. It's subjective.

Besides, you are incredibly biased. All one need do is read your posting history to read the same story in every post. Every post. Same stuff over and over.

Yawn.

Audiofeil,

What am I to say? The reason I take interest in the Pass Labs products, is because that is the brand I left behind. Revisiting the brand and hearing the latest and greatest amps, and preamps, I noticed a terrific improvement over previous gear, and I should have said so. Still, the bass was over prodigious, while the mids and highs were some of the best from solid state I have heard.

Components in high end audio do not work the same together from an electrical standpoint, and none of us have the same systems.

Therefore, I believe what we hear in our individual systems with our unique-to-us component and speaker mixtures can not necessarily be applied universally.

For example, what Muralman1 heard in his system with over prodigious bass might not have been the same were he to have listened with just one additional different element in the system, whether it was speakers, amplifiers or source.

When will the XP-20 be released? That pre should be bad-ass (in a good way). I still regret selling me X-1...

The XP-10 and XP-20 is currently available at authorized Pass dealers.
