Pass Labs Preamps - New Line Soon?

I would, but I don't expect I'd get an answer.  Theoretically, once a new line is announced, the demand for the old line drys up.  I thought there might be some PL gurus here that could make an educated guess based on the age of the existing line and the release of Xs.

The X model amps came out in 1998, followed by the .5's around 2009 and the .8's in 2014.  Seems logical the next generation preamps would be coming soon.

Ben-

having heard the XP-10 & XP-20, I cannot imagine a better SS pre-amp!

I would be interested in learning more about Pass Labs integrated amps.
IME, this is SS nirvana! Also, outstanding customer service.

Keep me posted & Happy Listening!

CES is just around the corner, so you should have news soon, if there is any news.

jmc, good point.  

jafant, no matter how good a component is, they always find ways to make it better.  :)  Just look at Audio Research - Ref 6 is now out.  (I currently own the Ref 5 se and am considering a PL pre to go with my XA-100.5 monoblocks.)  

I agree, I would not mind simplifying the system and going to a PL integrated.  They just came out with a couple of new models (INT-60 and INT-250) that, "take advantage of the point 8 amps."  Might be worth a look.
