Pass Labs vs. Levinson Pre's


Does anybody out there have experience with Pass X series preamps and Levinson. Are they comparable. In particular, I'm stuck between the Pass X1 and The Levinson 380S. The retail prices are similar, design philosophies are not. Thanks.

I've not heard the Pass but it would hard to beat the #380s or the #32. I've owned both.
Both are excellent units, I personally would take Nelson Pass's minimalist design though on a Pre-amp.
Sgr,

What do you own now, provided the decision was quality related and not financial. Not a wise ass Q, just though I'd qualify considering the economy and all the "need money" ads I've seen on this site.
go with the Pass,I had owned 380 and guess what I keep the Sony E9000es,it did not worth the money.
