Phono preamp Pass Labs XP-17 or XP-27

the sound is already fantastic but yes would imagine better still with the xp27 albeit over double the price so would be a down the road thing probably not until they upgrade the xp27 or someone with cash to burn moves up to the xs line and sells xp27 at great deal

I am using a Townshend Rock 7 with an Ortofon A90 cartridge with Harbeth 40.2 speakers

Maybe there will be good deals on the 25 now that it’s been superseded by the 27. That’s how I would shop.

I used to own the XP-25 phono and listened to the XP-15 quite a bit before I bought the XP-25.
  The XP-25 was quite a bit better than the 15. almost every aspect of the music was better, especially the flow of the music and dynamics, both macro and micro.
 
   I would anticipate the XP27 has similar performance increases over the Xp17.

 What table and cartridge are you usiing?
