Pass Labs XP-10 & XP-20 preamps


Hello, I was wondering if anyone has heard the new Pass Labs preamps: the XP-10 & the XP-20? I wonder how they would compare to the Jeff Rowland Capri preamp? Thank you. 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
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.
>>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.
>>Muralman1, why don't you start a new thread discussion of the Fire preamp<<

No need for that.

If you read his posting history, that topic is discussed in each and every thread along with his system.

It's the same old Scintilla, H2O, Fire, nos digital, ribbon speaker cable crap. Post after post after post; thread after thread after thread.

Nothing changes.
Nobody said your stuff is crap; you missed the point.

Your posts are the epitome of redundancy; it's the same "crap" over and over and over; a broken record if you will.

Get it?
