Good match for PassLabs Pre X2.5

Danielk141,
Thanks for the suggestion

Rgodin,
I read the X2.5 manual, it has two ways of adjusting the volume, it is the Mode Buttons and the other one is the traditional volume knob. Do you mean both volume steps are set at 3db?

or could the too soft or loud problem related with the impedance matching of the X2.5 to Evo?

Thank you.

PP,

The X2.5 has two gain settings, but the steps between each setting are 3 dB for both gain options. It sounded better to me with the low gain option.

I replaced it with a Placette Active that has 127 steps. Not only did the Placette sound significantly better in my system, but the small steps (about .7 dB) allows perfect volume control.

Rgodin,

Thanks for the pointer. Now I'm unsure about the X2.5 as my listening session is mostly in the night when family are asleep, so the exact control of volume is important to me..

hmmm..........
